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. -- Nathan
