Solaris 2.5 CDE calendar manager security

Under Solaris 2.5, OpenWindows 3.5, without CDE,
you can prevent anybody on any other machine from
accessing your calendar.

Installing CDE, sets up another rpc.cmsd (from /usr/dt/bin).
Once this is running, any user with the same username
on another machine can access your calendar.
Is there any way to get /usr/dt/bin/rpc.cmsd to maintain
privacy properly (like /usr/openwin/bin/rpc.cmsd) ?

The only workaround I could find is to revert to
/usr/openwin/bin/rpc.cmsd but then you cannot use dtcm
and need to go back to cm.
