RE: Listening on specific interfaces

[Wheeler, John]

Maybe I'm confused, but in cfservd.c version 2.0.6 line 749 you set the
interface to INADDR_ANY (below). I believe this means it will listen on
any interface that's up, or more specifically 0.0.0.0(?). If someone is
ambitious you could write a patch to have it listen on something from
the config file.

    744 #else
    745
    746 bzero(&sin,sizeof(sin));
    747
    748 sin.sin_port = (unsigned short)(port); /*  Service returns
network byte order */
    749 sin.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    750 sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
    751
    752 if ((sd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0)) == -1)
    753    {
    754    CfLog(cferror,"Couldn't open socket","socket");
    755    exit (1);
    756    }
    757
    758 if (setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *) &yes,
sizeof (int)) == -1)
    759    {
    760    CfLog(cferror,"Couldn't set socket options","sockopt");
    761    exit (1);

I think  that this is a function of your operating system, rather than
of cfengine. It is implementation dependent which interface gets bound
to by the listen function.
