NAME
chbind − The chbind utility is used to lock a process and its children into using a specific IP number/Interface.
SYNTAX
chbind [−−silent] [−−ip ip_number/interface] <command arguments>
DESCRIPTION
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
Please contribute some, if you feel it’s important.
