From the portmap man page: Note: that when specifying ip addresses with -h, portmap will automatically add 127.0.0.1 to the list so you don't have to. So I guess if you say "-h 127.0.0.1" then it adds "127.0.0.1" to the list, therfore that address appears twice, hence the error? If so I think this is a bug as it prevents one from telling portmap to listen on lo0 interface only (useful if one uses wordperfect for Linux from the ports - which needs portmap running otherwise it hangs on start-up). Note: portmap pays attention to the contents of the "/etc/hosts.allow" file so one could restrict access that way. -- Jose Marques To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
