yeah, netstat is definitely telling me that adept_manager is binding to 
0.0.0.0:15??/udp.  this seems like very strange behavior for a package 
manager.  i could understand if it was using localhost (127.0.0.1), but if 
i'm not mistaken, 0.0.0.0 represents all the network interfaces on my 
computer.

slightly spooky, if you ask me.  can anyone reassure me that its a feature, 
and not a bug?  or a backdoor? ;-)
