Matwey Kornilov e849867ccc Accepting request 647397 from home:markoschandras:branches:devel:languages:erlang:Factory
- Fix instructions for changing address for epmd.socket service. The
  ListenStream option needs to be completely overriden otherwise the
  socket will be started with multiple ListenStream options and it
  will fail.

# Erlang in openSUSE
## Erlang Port-mapper Daemon and systemd
Erlang Port-mapper Daemon in openSUSE uses systemd socket-activation. In order to fulfill security considerations, EPMd listens on loop-back interface by default. This is enough to run rabbitmq-server, ejabberd and user-started beam processes.
For clustering, please, use ```/etc/systemd/system/epmd.socket.d/``` to configure interfaces to listen on. See man systemd.unit(5) for details.
### Upgrading from sysvinit
```/etc/sysconfig/erlang``` has no effect now, to configure EPMd use systemd capabilities instead.
### Example 1: change port
Create ```/etc/systemd/system/epmd.socket.d/port.conf``` with following content:
```
[Socket]
ListenStream=
ListenStream=127.0.0.1:4444
```
The first line is to discard vendor configuration. The second line will change the port number to listen on to 4444.
### Example 2: enable external interface
To enable accepting external connections to EPMd, create ```/etc/systemd/system/epmd.socket.d/port.conf``` with following content:
```
[Socket]
ListenStream=
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:4369
```
