chbind(8)

Usage

chbind [--silent] [--ip ip_number/interface] <command arguments>

Overview

The chbind utility executes a command, and locks the resulting process and its children into using a specific IP number/Interface, no matter what it is told in it's configuration. This applies to services and client connection as well.

Options

--ip ip_number/interface: Binds the process to the given IP number or Interface. If an interface is supplied (for example eth0), both the IP number and broadcast address are extracted.

--bcast broadcast address: Binds the process to the given broadcast IP number.

--silent: Do not complain.

Files

/usr/sbin/chbind

Examples

If I wanted to ensure my httpd listened only on my eth0 interface, I could do: chbind --ip eth0 /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
