ArchangeGabriel opened a new issue #999: How to avoid epmd binding 4369 on 
public interface (if possible at all)
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/999
 
 
   I?m running a single node instance of couchdb. I?ve recently realized that 
couchdb is starting epmd which bind on 4369.
   
   As they are no reasons for anything from the outside to connect to epmd, I 
would like to limit epmd binding to localhost.
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   epmd should bind only on 127.0.0.1:4369 on single node instance.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   epmd binds on ::4369.
   
   ## Possible Solution
   I would be fine for a configuration option if doing that automatically on 
single node setup is not doable.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
   1. Install couchdb.
   2. Configure it for single node setup.
   3. Run `lsof -i tcp:4369` as root, with sudo or whatever gives you the 
correct rights.
   4. Observes something like this:
   ```
   epmd     481 couchdb    3u  IPv4  16031      0t0  TCP *:epmd (LISTEN)
   epmd     481 couchdb    4u  IPv6  16032      0t0  TCP *:epmd (LISTEN)
   ```
   
   ## Context
   I want to avoid uselessly opened ports on my server.
   
   ## Your Environment
   * Version used: 2.1.1
   * Browser Name and version: N/A
   * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): ArchLinux
   * Link to your project: N/A
