 The file 'svdrphosts.conf' can be used to define which hosts are allowed
 to access the SVDRP port. By default only localhost (127.0.0.1) is granted
 access. If you want to give other hosts access to your SVDRP port you need to
 add their IP numbers to 'svdrphosts.conf'.
 
+You can disable SVDRP access entirely by either running VDR with '--port=0',
+or by removing all entries (including 127.0.0.1 for the localhost) from
+'svdrphosts.conf'.

 If the program shall run as a daemon, use the --daemon option. This
 will completely detach it from the terminal and will continue as a
 background process.
