It's not documented that access.conf allows end-of-line comments because
it *doesn't*; any use of '# text' at the end of the line is in fact
parsed *as part of the 'origins' field*. This means that trying to
comment out an origin this way does *not* prevent that origin from being
used to get access. E.g.,
+ : root : 192.168.200.1 192.168.200.4 192.168.200.9 # we don't
trust 192.168.200.5
would, in fact, allow access from 192.168.200.5 (as well as any
hypothetical hosts named "we", "don't", "trust", and "#").
Closing this as invalid, therefore, as the documentation is entirely
accurate.
