Dear Maintainer, the manpage says that I can use "-h address" to make rpcbind only bind to this address (or several, if used multiple times), instead if IN_ADDR_ANY. Unfortunately, this is not true. Consider this: $ ps auwwx|grep rpc root 3862 0.0 0.0 37068 2396 ? Ss 12:39 0:00 /sbin/rpcbind -h 127.0.0.1 -h ::1 -l $ $ netstat -an |grep -F ":111" tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::111 :::* LISTEN udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:111 0.0.0.0:* udp6 0 0 ::1:111 :::* $ # lsof -i udp@0.0.0.0:111 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME rpcbind 3862 root 6u IPv4 39531536 0t0 UDP localhost:sunrpc # In other words, rpcbind still binds to IN_ADDR_ANY, despite the man page saying otherwise. Please also consider these related bugs: #621807, #737276 Kind regards, --Toni++ similar
