Before I just had 127.0.0.1 as I only want to allow connections from nginx
running on the same VPS.

What would I put in smapinntpd.allow if I wanted to restrict access to a

I don't have port 5000 exposed to the public internet, so it's not really much
of a concern, more of a belt & suspenders approach.
