He's requiring added complexity to other packages not under his control by forcing them to "register" before portmap will actually listen on a remote interface. Gee... as opposed to just configuring /etc/hosts.deny properly, something I've never been able to figure out why portmap doesn't do in the first place. Added complexity for other packages. More than one place to control access to the same daemon. A new Debian-ism to make us different from everyone else. Yeah, those are all good reasons to do this. Not. No, I'm not a DD, I'm just someone who'd have to use this mess. -- Marc Wilson | An empty cab drove up and Sarah Bernhardt got msw@cox.net | out. -Arthur Baer, American comic and columnist
