Securing ejabberd on Debian Wheezy (7.0) : Bind epmd to localhost (127.0.0.1)

Ejabberd is a nice and (in theory) easy to setup jabber-server. However during setup I came across some WTF’s, I want to share.

What is empd?
epmd is a small name server used by Erlang programs when establishing distributed Erlang communications. ejabberd needs epmd to use ejabberdctl and also when clustering ejabberd nodes. If ejabberd is stopped, and there aren’t any other Erlang programs running in the system, you can safely stop epmd.

Build your own Debian Packages

Until now when I wrote some scripts I always copied them directly to the Servers .I always thought: “It would be really cool if this were a Debian Package”. I played with the thougth of creating my own packages but it seemed to be very complicated (reading the Debian Standard Howto). Lately I discovered, that the Debian Howto covers a lot more than I actually needed and to create a simple binary package you actually need almost only your scripts. So let’s start.
