I've bound a socket and am accepting connections aplenty, how do i
get the IP of the client?  I want to check and see if he is in the
allowed IPs specified.

thanks

1. Get the details by passing the pointer to a sockaddr_in (or whatever
family you use) structure and a pointer to the size od the strcuture in
accept() function. Dont pass NULL in the second and third argumant of
accept().

2.Use getpeername()

see the man pages
