Are you certain you need to do this after accept? I would think the
incoming request is already bound to a specific adapter. If you only
need root creating the listeners on specific adapters, you already have
root (heh - even http on port 80 needs root to create the listeners :-)
Actually, you may be correct. My other code that uses this feature only
binds to the device when creating the listening socket and when
creating the initiating socket on the client side. I'll do some
testing tomorrow to verify...
So far, 99% of the patch is in just trying to correctly parse the Listen
eth0:192.168.1.5:80
line in the httpd.conf (and remain back-wards compat with the existing
format).
I should have a patch to send to the list tomorrow, errr much later this
morning!
Thanks,
Ben
