Just specify <allow-ip> or probably a more common approach is to specify <deny-ip> in the <paths> section. In both cases it's a filename to a file containing IP addresses (one per line) that will drop an incoming connection depending on whether it is allowed or denied. This also exists in the trunk code as well however the wildcard (eg 192.168.*) mechanism is not available in trunk.

tnks, and one more little question. Can i move not all, but only one listener to another mount?

No, it's all of them at the moment, although there is nothing technically impossible with just moving one.

check your error log to be sure but I suspect the path is wrong, maybe you meant it to be an absolute path.

My path was incorrect as you suggested. I needed a '.' in front of /doc/deny.txt

Works perfectly now.

Thanks

I got one simular (question, that is)

I want to allow only one client IP to a mount specifically.. including localhost.. the mount will be relayed via another mount internally, and that mount is "open to the public"

"why?" you ask??

the reason is that I pull the stream from said mount to be sent into a remote studio for processing/enhancement/etc..etc..etc.. only the studio needs access to this mount when it is present.. BUT if the connection to the studio fails, then I want icecast to foreward this mount to the public mount without any restrictions..

the reason I have to "lock" it is because the remote DJs have a habit to LISTEN to the input mount- when they should be listenig to the public mount instead (if they are to listen to any mount at all!) they listen to the wrong mount, and therefore miss the on-line cues and other program mechanisms... I also find them listening to each other via the input mount.. a real NO-NO!

thanks in advance for your help.

The only way at the moment to restrict mountpoint listener access by IP is to use url based auth. to accept/reject the listener based upon the IP passed in the POST details. In theory the code to filter based on IP could be made a per-mount option but there hasn't been any call for it to be implemented there.
