in version: 2.1.30-3 
a configuration, like the following

access to attr=uid
	by peername="137.56.*.*" * read
	by * none

works fine, 

however in version: 2.2.23-3 
This configuration does not grant access to the 137.56.*.* range anymore
In fact 
       by peername=*.*.*.* * read 
does not even grant read access 

however
       by * read 
does grant access

Leaving out the peername constraint and specifying: by * read 
seems the be the only alternative, but this is as you understand
a major drawback.

Did I miss something in the documention? If so please tell me.
I would very much like continue to use the peername feature!
