NAME

       chbind  -  The  chbind  utility  is  used  to  lock  a  process and its children into using a specific IP
       number/Interface.

SYNTAX

       chbind [--silent] [--ip ip_number/interface] <command arguments>

DESCRIPTION

       The chbind utility executes a command, and locks the resulting process and  its  children  into  using  a
       specific  IP  number/Interface, no matter what it is told in it's configuration. This applies to services
       and client connection as well.

OPTIONS

       --ip ip_number/interface
              Binds the process to the given IP number or Interface. If an interface is  supplied  (for  example
              eth0), both the IP number and broadcast address are extracted.

       --bcast broadcast address
              Binds the process to the given broadcast IP number.

       --silent
              Do not complain.

FILES

       /usr/sbin/chbind

EXAMPLES

       If  I  wanted  to  ensure  my  httpd  listened  only  on  my eth0 interface, I could do: chbind --ip eth0
       /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

       Please contribute some, if you feel it's important.
