Package: bitcoind
Version: 0.5.1-2
Severity: normal
Currently, when running in -daemon or -server mode, bitcoind listens
on localhost:8332 to provide the RPC interface used by the command-line
client. It would be better to use unix domain sockets for this
purpose (i.e. by creating a socket file in /tmp/ with sufficiently
restrictive permissions). That way, one could rely on unix file
permissions rather than passwords for security, and avoid problems on
multi-user systems where two bitcoind processes might try to listen on
the same port.

This bug is better handled upstream than in Debian.
