I'm in favour of including the loopback binding. This is a standard option for most daemons in Debian. Forcing the user to close open ports with a firewall when the user isn't interested in the port being open to begin with seems like a bad design to me. A file /etc/epmd.conf would also be useful to have.
In addition, port 4369 should be registered in /etc/services, as should all ports which are somehow opened by daemons in Debian. Finally, I also agree to the creation of an init script so that epmd can be shut down through the standard interface instead of sending signals. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
