Hi,

Yesterday i struggled a little bit with a multihomed
machine to get the fileserver to listen only on specific
interface. The reason of vos listaddrs returning nothing.
With the help of cclausen i finally managed it but i would
like to document this behaviour now.

So i checked out the cvs tree and wondered where i would
have to document the rxbind option of some of the services?
In the pod8/{fileserver,...}.pod?
Can i just send a patch to this list?
Which format then, unified?

Btw. i see the old paths are used in this file. What would
be the policy regarding this paths as these are the old
transarc paths.

Another point as i first thought of putting it in the wiki,
but the wiki is rather old and i am not sure if it is still
used much.
Would it be a good idea to add something like a recipe
manpage or html file somewhere.

Which could include something like:

Q   The fileserver uses the hostname to get its own address
    but i want it to bind to another interface only.

A   Use the NetRestrict and NetInfo files and add the rxbind
    switch to the BosConfig ...

or something like that. Maybe update the wiki instead, hm.


Thanks

P.S. Uhm is there a mercurial mirror of the repo somewhere
     cvs is so .. oh well :)
