+# When invoked appropriately, it creates a point-to-point network
+# interface with specified parameters.  It arranges for packets sent out
+# via that interface by the kernel to appear on its own stdout in SLIP or
+# CSLIP encoding, and packets injected into its own stdin to be given to
+# the kernel as if received on that interface.  Optionally, additional
+# routes can be set up to arrange for traffic for other address ranges to
+# be routed through the new interface.
+# 
+# This is the access control wrapper for the service program.
+# Arrangments should be made to invoke this as root from userv.

+# Usage:

+#   .../ipif1 <v1config> -- <service-args>...
+#
+# Config file is a series of lines.
+#
+#   permit <keyword>....
+#
+#      if caller, local addr, all remote addrs and networks, and
+#      ifname, all match, permits the request (and stops reading
+#      the config)

+#          group <groupname>|<gid>
+#              matches caller if they are in that group

+#              matches applicable local ore remote addrs

 /*
  * userv service (or standalone program) for per-user IP subranges.

- * When invoked appropriately, it creates a point-to-point network
- * interface with specified parameters.  It arranges for packets sent out
- * via that interface by the kernel to appear on its own stdout in SLIP or
- * CSLIP encoding, and packets injected into its own stdin to be given to
- * the kernel as if received on that interface.  Optionally, additional
- * routes can be set up to arrange for traffic for other address ranges to
- * be routed through the new interface.

  * This is the service program, which is invoked as root from userv (or may
  * be invoked firectly).
