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.
