This is configured via /etc/default files - maybe the defaults should
change here.

For pmcd this is the setting ...

# Behaviour regarding listening on external-facing interfaces;
# unset PMCD_LOCAL to allow connections from remote hosts.
# A value of 0 permits remote connections, 1 permits local only.
# PMCD_LOCAL=1

On Fedora and RHEL, we change the default during the build to set this
value to 1
and people can edit if they want the remote access features PCP offers.  Perhaps
this should be the default for all platforms nowadays (Ken, thoughts?)

cheers.
