Is there a reason that portmap opens a TCP socket bound to INADDR_ANY,
despite being told with the -h switch not to? The source code clearly
does this.
-h Specify specific IP addresses to bind to for UDP requests.

Also, given a machine with two interfaces, 10.9.8.55 and 205.147.26.55
I've also noticed that adding
portmap : 10.9.8.0/255.255.255.0 : allow
portmap : ALL : deny
to the /etc/hosts.allow file will not block this TCP port from being
connected to via the 205.147.26.55 interface.
portmap doesn't use tcpwrappers (hosts.allow) but hosts_access.
I'd say this is a bug. Am I being too anal here?
yes :)
