Local-only (non-ip) rpcbind(8)?

[Hauke Fath <hf%spg.tu-darmstadt.de@localhost>]

Hi,

can rpcbind(8) be set up to only use local transport, as opposed to 
binding to interfaces?

The closest I seem to come to that goal is by specifying '-h 127.0.0.1', 
which results in a pointless

Nov 18 15:45:05 HOST rpcbind: cannot bind 127.0.0.1 on udp: Address 
already in use
Nov 18 15:45:05 HOST rpcbind: cannot bind 127.0.0.1 on tcp: Address 
already in use

from rpcbind.c adding localhost to the address list unconditionally.

Yes, hosts.allow(5) would take care of things, but just result in more 
log noise.

Cheerio,
Hauke
