Some programs accept a command-line option to do this. Others don't.

RE: daemon to listen on localhost only?
Is there a way to tell a daemon to listen only to the localhost without using a firewall? As others have stated, check the daemon you are trying to run but many can also run via tcpserver (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html). Going this route you can limit the listening IP to localhost or whatever. I personally swear by this route as it is a good/clean method of controling services.

RE: daemon to listen on localhost only?
For the stock freebsd ftpd, you should be able to change inetd.conf: FROM ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l TO ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l -a 127.0.0.1 I think that should work but untested.

Actually, it would be: ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l -D -a 127.0.0.1 Sorry for the confusion, Scott -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Hiemstra Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 4:54 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: daemon to listen on localhost only?

OK. man ftpd suggests the following options are relevant: -4 When -D is specified, accept connections via AF_INET4 socket. -6 When -D is specified, accept connections via AF_INET6 socket. -a When -D is specified, accept connections only on the specified address. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
