How do I get rpcbind to only listen on localhost and not on INADDR_ANY,
equivalent to the "-l" option to portmap?  The man page implies that
"-h 127.0.0.1" should do it, but that doesn't work.

I imagine this doesn't work because for localhost, rpcbind listens on AF_LOCAL socket /var/run/rpcbind.sock.  This allows authentication of the registrand.  Normally this interface isn't exposed directly to applications: they use the APIs in libtirpc (or glibc) to access the local rpcbind service.
