Bug#397947: developers-reference: please suggest that all network services should bind to 127.0.0.1 by default



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.7
Severity: wishlist

In my opinion, the developers' reference should suggest that network
services should bind to 127.0.0.1 only by default and not be reachable
from external hosts without explicit configuration by the local user
(which might be debconf-driven).

If you signal to me that this change would be acceptable for the
developers' reference, I'll happily deliver a text suitable for the
package.

Greetings
Marc
