The -a parameter is a great feature of FreeBSD inetd. I hope future versions will accept multiple IP addresses. Under 2.2.7, if you need to run an ftpd on say 12 specific IPs, you'll need to run 12 inetds. It would be cleaner if either one -a understood multiple IPs: inetd /etc/inetd.conf.ftp -a 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.11 [...] or if inetd understood multiple -a flags: inetd /etc/inetd.conf.ftp -a 192.168.1.10 -a 192.168.1.11 [...] -- Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting http://www.roble.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
