Is there any progress on this? I can only support the -loopback option. How many users do need to run distributed applications after all? And if they need to, they probably know how to configure epmd properly. On the other hand, every single user who chooses to install an Erlang application that does not neccessarily need distributed access (like ejabberd, and even gwibber through CouchDB) opens a security hole on their system WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING (where is the /usr/share/doc/erlang-base/README entry for that?)
>From a security standpoint, the strategy to bind to 0.0.0.0 by default is absolute nonsense and potentially hurts more users than it eases configuration.
