chbind - The chbind utility is used to lock a process and its children into
using a specific IP number/Interface.
SYNTAX¶
chbind [

--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.
