Description of problem: /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have no effect on rpcbind connectivity Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpcbind-0.1.4-6.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put portmap:ALL in /etc/hosts.deny and nothing in /etc/hosts.allow 2. put RPCBIND_ARGS="-l" in /etc/sysconfig/rpcbind 3. restart rpcbind 4. rpcinfo -d <hostname> from another host Actual results: Port is open and supplies info Expected results: Port should appear closed or reject connections Additional info: I also tried rpcbind:ALL and sunrpc:ALL in /etc/hosts.deny, just in case the keyword changed. FWIW the rpcbind init script incorrectly lists /etc/sysconfig/nfs (???) as the config file. I'll file another bug on that one.
Fixed in rpcbind-0.1.4-8.fc7 and rpcbind-0.1.4-8.fc8
