[mv] minivend security concern

Hi,
	If I set TcpHost to *, is this a really big security hole??

	The reason I do this, is becuase I need to give a lot of users
	access to upload/download their catalog files via minimate. But
	once they logged in to port 7786, when they go back to minivend,
	minivend will deny their access. This is what is shown in the
	error.log:

	> - - - [11/January/2000:11:11:42 +1100] - - Runtime error:
	> attempt to connect from unauthorized host UNRESOLVE D_NAME/203.63.219.44.


	Now, I cannot put all of their ip under TcpHost becuase they are
	changing all the time. Will this be a big security hole??

	Thanks.

Shao.
