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.
