Sorry, it is my bad English. Typical /etc/opieaccess is:

permit 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
permit xx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.255.255

(second is externally visible machine address)

It allows both local ftp command and remote FTP (21) via SSH which use
external address address, but calls ftpd on local machine. I mean not
current system FTPD, but FTPD with proper OPIE integration like wu-ftpd.

What you mean by 'better'? Each OPIE password have its count down with max
9999 value.

Nowdays all machines used as servers with rare console access, it means
that most connections are remote connections, and it means that
_by_default_ OPIE must assume this variant. And for admins which don't
trust any remote connection we can have just opposite option.
