It has been a while since I have had to build a project from scratch. With this reference, I can now get on with development. Later, I will absolutely want to lock down for my customer. Then I hope to find another reference solution just as easily. Actually implementing IP based authentication may not be the best answer for me due to the environment I will be in, but I will be investigating it. Simple is the essence of effectiveness for me. And I do not plan on giving out the root password. Isn't that a measure of security? I appreciated this. It has been a while since I have had to build a project from scratch.

And I do not plan on giving out the root password. Isn’t that a measure of security?

IP based authentication is an extremely useful security feature, disabling it - especially for the root user - is probably a bad idea. That said, there really isn't anything wrong with allowing a limited user account access from every IP. :-) I’m not exactly sure *why* you would want to do this.
