These commands control who is and isn't allowed to use the server. A normal public server would use these commands to
prevent unruly and destructive users from playing there. However, a very private server for instance can reverse the meaning of the
address list to allow only those in the list.
All addresses must be specified in the IP numerical format of XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. However the entire address does not need to be
given, specifying only the first 3 parts (123.123.123) would match anyone from the domain 123.123.123.X.
