Package: portmap
Version: 5-26
Severity: minor
The portmap debconf template asks:
Should portmap be bound to the loopback address?
But portmap listens on loopback regardless of whether you pick "yes"
or "no" here; the question you're asking is, "should portmap ignore all
interfaces besides localhost?", or even better
Should portmap be restricted to the loopback interface?
or maybe even
Should portmap reject remote connections?
