[Bug: 21.4.13] gnuserv configuration

Dear Bug Team!

Hello, this is probably more in the line of a "documentation
enhancement" request than an honest-to-goodness bug, but...

My situation: I use gnuserv/gnuclient.  My site's Security Gurus are
complaining about the fact that gnuserv is listening for incoming
connections on an open port, and would like me to somehow configure
gnuserv so that it only listens for connections on "localhost".  For
myself, this is fine -- I never edit files on remote hosts or from
remote nodes (I use gnuserv/gnuclient only to speed-up the startup
time).  But I have no idea how to do this configuration!

I've read the FAQ, I've looked at the configuration options for
gnuserv, and nothing looks like what I need.  In particular, lots of
the documents refer to the "gnuserv.h" and/or "gnuserv.el" files --
neither of which I have.  (I have a "gnuserv.elc" file, but that
doesn't help).

It looks to me as if what I *want* to do is to force the use of unix
sockets rather than internet sockets.  Is this something that I can do
without somehow finding a different build of xemacs (or rolling my
own)?  Is it a configuration option, or must it be built in at compile
time?

I hope I've explained this clearly enough.

Thanks for any help,
