Auxiliary process opens unnecessary network sockets

Open gfphoenix78 opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Data exchange between backend processes uses network sockets. The listener socket is created when the backend process is initialized. However, some auxiliary process doesn't require interconnect for data exchange. Exposing unnecessary network ports is not a good idea, which may be considered security issue in a higher standard.

For example, the fts-probe process listens the UDP port, but not used.
