[Pkg-monitoring-maintainers] Bug#910741: etbemon: By default mon listens on port 2583 (UDP) on all network interfaces

[Francois Marier]

Source: etbemon
Version: 1.3.3-3
Severity: important

After installing mon, I got the following tiger warning email:

  # Checking listening processes
  NEW: --WARN-- [lin003w] The process `mon' is listening on socket 2583 (UDP on every interface) is run by mon.

I realized that the fix for #820712 is no longer sufficient and had to add
the following to my /etc/mon/mon.cf:

--- a/mon/mon.cf
+++ b/mon/mon.cf
@@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ dtlogfile             = dtlog
 
 
 serverbind = 127.0.0.1
+trapbind = 127.0.0.1

With that, the mon daemon is no longer listening on all network interfaces.
