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? > > 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. > > Scott > > > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Sean Murphy > > Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 4:43 PM > > To: 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' > > Subject: Re: daemon to listen on localhost only? > > > > the ftp daemon that is started with inetd it is the ftp that > > comes with > > the freebsd system 5.4. > > ___ > > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > > > > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
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.

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.

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