    Would someone be willing to take a look at PR 30235,
    and perhaps commit its patch, or the equivalent functionality?

    At present, it's impossible to get portmap to bind to only
    localhost, requiring that you use ipfw to filter it out if you
    want to use it for local only services. This is due to a
    bug in the portmap interface checking logic, and the PR
    above fixes this problem.

    It's a very, very welcome feature for the security paranoid
    who nevertheless need to run portmap. I've been running the
    patch for a week or so on a number of machines, and it's happy.
    (It's simple enough...). PR has been hanging around since
    2001.

    Many thanks!

      -Dave
