How do I make bitcoind listen on 0.0.0.0:8332?

Question

I'm running bitcoind on one machine and would like to control it from another (using python and the JSON RPC interface).

~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.config on the bitcoind host (192.168.2.4):

rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=xxx
gen=1
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rcpallowip=192.168.2.6   # This is the other machine
paytxfee=0.01

Now, I start bitcoind -daemon, but my python program fails with

IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 111] Connection refused

On the bitcoind host, ps -nlp shows bitcoind listening on 127.0.0.1:8332, and not 0.0.0.0:8332 (which is what I would have expected). Wireshark shows a response of RST,ACK to the TCP connection attempt, which appears to be logical.

What am I missing?

Try rpcallowip, instead of rcpallowip :)
