Solaris 11.3, rpcbind "config/local_only" defaults to false

NorbertBFeb 3 2016 — edited Feb 6 2016

Concern: Default settings of rpcbind, see "svcs -lv  svc:/network/rpc/bind".

Contrary to what "man rpcbind" states, the default of the property "config/local_only (boolean)" seems to be "false".

Definitely I even get this setting after each reboot and always have to reset it to "true".

Btw: Setting to "false" is an invitation for DDoS attackers: IP address can be faked due to service being UDP, and out/in factor is about 10.

I think, the manual or the default property setting should change.

And - question:

Shouldn't my setting

# svccfg -s svc:/network/rpc/bind setprop config/local_only = true

stay after reboot?
