[OpenAFS] rxbind for server processes?

[ted creedon]

Use ifconfig to bind the interface (eth0) & ipaddress (a.b.c.d) to the 
MAC address( e:f:f:h:i:j:k) on the network interface card.
Eg. bind eth0   specifically to:

 HWaddr 00:12:2F:46:5F:CG   inet addr:10.1.1.193  Bcast:10.1.1.255  
Mask:255.255.255.0
