I don't know a whole lot about how the network sockets system works, but I'm curious: Is it possible to get servers to bind to a particular network/netmask? I want Samba (smbd, nmbd) to only listen for connections from the local network, not anywhere else. If it's not possible to get Samba only listening on the local network, I'll probably just put up an IP Tables rule.. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Get the facts first - you / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ can distort them later! \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
