Description Elros Cyriatan 2004-09-24 06:34:28 UTC 
Attached is a small patch that adds an option to portmap to only listen on the loopback device, to enhance security. (On most machines there's no reason for it to listen on the public IP address.) Patch is relative to upstream version (and submitted to upstream author).

the patch seems to contain some very very strange characters.  It's not legible.  Can you reattach the patch in a sane format this time?

seems to be gzipped

Sorry, I'm used to always gzip patches.

BTW, was this patch ever sent upstream?
