Restrict network access to boks_autoregisterd, which listens on port 6507 by default, until fixed builds are deployed. 

Another workaround for both boks-server 8.1 and 9.0 is to disable the service in the boksinit configuration. On the BoKS Master, edit

$BOKS_var/internal/boksinit/master 

and comment out the line 

`autoregisterd:300:1:0:respawn::$BOKS_lib/boks_autoregisterd -xn` 

by prefixing it with 

`#`; 

then make boks_init reread the file, for example by running 

`kill -HUP $(cat $BOKS_var/run/boks_init)`, 

or restart BoKS. This stops boks_autoregisterd and prevents it from being respawned; autoregistration is unavailable until the row is restored.
