Package: portmap
Version: 6.0-9
Severity: normal

>From http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/security.html
Just run "strings /sbin/portmap | grep hosts"
If it comes up something like:

   /etc/hosts.allow
   /etc/hosts.deny
   @(#) hosts_ctl.c 1.4 94/12/28 17:42:27
   @(#) hosts_access.c 1.21 97/02/12 02:13:22

then ok, but I'm running debian lenny and it comes up with:

vpab...@micasa:/etc$ strings /sbin/portmap | grep hosts
hosts_ctl
vpab...@micasa:/etc$

so man pages should reflect this or, at least do not refer that portmap is 
protected by ...

Regards, 

Victor.
