For TCP, I prefer the port-0 approach, but there would need to be a way to determine which port the backdoor is listening on. I think having this represented in logs would be sufficient.

Would you give a +1 to a resubmit of the patch with the backdoor_port option deprecated and replaced it with a boolean option called enable_backdoor?  Or are you of the opinion that the current backdoor_port option is not broken?


I'm not sure I'd classify it as 'broken', but I think it is bad at present.
A boolean would be better. For determining the port, I'd rather it be random. More than that, as before stated, I'd prefer a unix socket.
To make this a unix socket, you'd have to create the socket yourself and then pass that to eventlet.backdoor.backdoor_server(), rather than using eventlet.backdoor.backdoor()
