Yes, that's the idea. In fact, if you ommit the TRUSTED line, gnunetd uses the
default  (see configuration.c):

if (ch == NULL)
    ch = "127.0.0.1/8;"; /* by default, trust localhost only */

Which makes this even more odd. Not to mention that I have the line that you 
quote in my config file and it just works nicely. It would be great if 
somebody who can reproduce this problem could investigate. All the related 
code is in util/ipcheck.c, configuration.c and a tiny little call in 
server/tcpserver.c.
