mpd on a local network

So I've done this more than once, and had to "recreate" my success. So I'm writing it down this time.

To access mpd on a local network, you need to:

add a line to /etc/hosts.allow, for example:

mpd:192.168.1.:6600

It could be that you should (?) restart the portmapper

/etc/init.d/portmap restart

And make mpd "listen" on something other than localhost. This is
affected by the line

bind_to_address 127.0.0.1

in /etc/mpd.conf

This line should be "commented out".
