Securing RPC-based services - Inetd.sec vs IPFilter

Is there a way to use IPFilter (A.03.05.09) to restrict (by IP address) the use of individual RPC-based services in /etc/rpc or do I need to use the inetd.sec file?

You can allow/deny access to ports related to an IP via ipfilter.

Re: Securing RPC-based services - Inetd.sec vs IPFilter

I have seen this document that you refer to and it does describe securing ports, but I could not find details about coding the /etc/rpc "program numbers" into my ipf.conf file. Could I code the number 100017 from /etc/rpc to restrict access for the rexd usage? Thanks
