Because of the bug, you have to set nsAdminAccessAddresses to something you 
don't have and empty nsAdminAccessHosts. Well, there might be other ways to 
do it, this worked for me.

I needed to allow administration from anywhere so made the following 
definitions:
nsAdminAccessAddresses=255.255.255.255
nsAdminAccessHosts=

and restarted the admin server.
