PVServer bind address CLI option
Add the --bind-address
command-line option to pvserver
. This option allows changing the address bound to the server socket, so that it is not necessarily exposed on all interfaces using INADDR_ANY
(0.0.0.0).
This cannot really be tested with the current test infrastructure, you can always try locally:
pvserver
or pvserver --bind-address 0.0.0.0
should display a socket with local address 0.0.0.0:11111
when running netstat -tl4pn
on the same host, and show up on nmap
from another reachable host. When running with --bind-address 127.0.0.1
(or any 127.0.0.0/8
address), netstat
shows local address 127.0.0.1:11111
and nmap
from another host does not find the open socket.
