Hi guys

I have a Linuxbox monitoring it self plus pinging a few other sites. There is no reporting of eg. disk/cpu from the remote sites. Therefore I like to move the open port 1984 of BBD to localhost 127.0.0.1 rather than the external IP-address of my box.

I have set in my bb-hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost # bbd

But nmap <mymachine> gives ... 1984/tcp open bigbrother ...

i.e. the port is opened also on my external interface - (as it is on my 127.0.0.1)

How can I avoid this? I have been into the documentation...

Best
