listening on all IPs

Hi!

I have a quick question: how can I make the aolserver 4.5
listen on all 
IPs? My attempt to do achieve by setting the nssock's
address parameter to 
0.0.0.0 or {} didn't work.

Thank you!

Setting the address to "0.0.0.0" should have
worked.  What actually
happened when you tried that?

You probably have to prebind 0.0.0.0 on the startup line:

./bin/nsd -ft start.tcl -u you -g ygroup -b
"0.0.0.0:80" ...

or in a file use -B path/to/bind-file.txt

bind-file.txt:
0.0.0.0:80

Then set your nssock up. But I haven't done this recently,
you might have to 
somehow grab the ips and loop over them.

It looks like you can also use name based ip during binding,
maybe it also 
works with nssock?

Try "*"

Not sure though.

You are right, 0.0.0.0 works fine! I don't remember exactly
in what 
context I tried before. :(

Thank you!

This doesn't work. It fails with the error:
 	[12/Sep/2007:01:05:15][3365.3073113008][-nssock:driver-]
Error: dns: getaddrinfo failed for *: Name or service not
known

As I acknowledged in a previous message, using 0.0.0.0 does
work. :P

Thanks everyone for the help!

Hi!

One last thing: listening to all ports can also be achieved
by not 
configuring the address ns_param from nssock.

If it is on a port < 1024 you have to prebind the
address:port (and startup as 
root with a non-root user/group), and you can't listen on
all ports, just all 
addresses.

Right, I did a mistake in my message: "ports"
should have been "addresses" 
or "IPs". Thanks for pointing this out!
