Running MIDAS at CERN is proving more challenging than I expected. The network environement is not
as benign as I am used to (i.e. at TRIUMF) and our machines are being constantly probed by something/
somebody.

I am in favor of tcp_wrappers.
tcp_wrappers is well understood.

First I have a general question: mserver is started through xinetd, and xinetd has
the options "only_from" and "no_access". This is equivalent to the tcp_wrapper
functionality. Why not using this? It's possible without changing anything in midas.

The "mvmestd.h" uses the following function to open a VME device:

I found that the "driver/vme/sis3100/sis3100.c" uses the implementation as:

Hi, I am looking for a way to mutate ODB values from a custom page. I have been
using the edit attribute for the 'odb' tag, but for some things it would be nice
if a form can handle the change. I have seen references to ODBSet on the forums,

Thanks for the bug report Gennaro!
I've fixed the code so that we'll now find the end-of-run ODB dump even if the user is already at the end of the file when they call get_eor_odb_dump().
