I usually confirm this by doing something like (depends on which
unix you have):
netstat -anp | fgrep LISTEN
this will show you which processes and ports have socket listeners,
and it can tell you which interface is being used. I think the
'null' parameter is saying use the 'wildcard' address, which I've
found can lead to weirdness on unix machines, particularly those
that have multiple eth interfaces. In some cases, I've had to work
around this by changing the /etc/hosts file so that 'localhost'
maps to the real IP address, and not the 127.0.0.1. Not ideal, but
it does seem to fix it.
Thanks. I've now seen it pass on other VM's on the same OS, so my
original take to blame it on the OS was likely mistaken.
