Greetings,

I have code that starts the RMI registry as follows:

LocateRegistry.createRegistry(5000);

This works fine, however the registry listens on all interfaces at the
port 5000. I would like rmi registry to listen only on localhost
interface, in similar fashion to the way you can make MySQL and
Postfix listen only to localhost. For example a netstat -ta would
reveal:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address
State
tcp        0      0 localhost:mysql         *:*
LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:www                   *:*
LISTEN
tcp        0      0 localhost:smtp          *:*
LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:5000                 *:*
LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 *:ssh                   *:*
LISTEN

In other words I would like to see:

tcp        0      0 localhost:5000
*:*                     LISTEN

Does anyone know if rmi registry supports interface binding like this?

Cheers,
Greg
