As per the pmcd man page:

   Where no specific allow or disallow statement applies to an
   operation, the default is to allow the operation from all users,
   groups and hosts.  In the trivial case when there is no access
   control section in the configuration file, all operations from all
   users, groups, and hosts are permitted.

so apprx. yes, wide open access is the default, and is restricted by
explicit clauses.
