Template: portmap/loopback
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Should portmap be bound to the loopback address?
Portmap by default listens to all IP addresses. However, if you are
not providing network RPC services to remote clients (you are if you are
setting up a NFS or NIS server) you can safely bind it to the loopback
IP address (127.0.0.1)
.
This will allow RPC local services (like FAM) to work properly, while
preventing remote systems from accessing your RPC services.
.
You can also change this configuration by editing the OPTIONS
line in the /etc/default/portmap file. If you just don't specify
the -i option it will bind to all interfaces.
