Summary:
prevent public access to desktop wiki in default setup

Detailed description 
When using instiki as an Desktop wiki ($INSTIKIHOME/script/server), the server will be accessible at least by all machines
in a local LAN. This might be dangerous for example when Wiki is used in public WLAN or Company/University networks.

The default behavior should be to allow access only by the local machine.

I am not sure, but changing the ip-option in /script/server should result in the intended behavior.

If you agree with me, you can use the attached patch.


Thanks.

Some would say that the fact that Instiki comes internet-ready,
bundled with its own webserver is a feature, not a bug.

   ./instiki -b 127.0.0.1

will listen only on the loopback address.
