[Moosefs-users] cannot bind daemons to specific host/ip

[Corin L. <cor...@ne...>]

Hi all,

I'm quite new to moosefs but so far it's working great :)

For security reasons (besides firewall etc.) I'd like to bind the 
moosefs daemons only to a specific ip address. According to the man 
pages this is what I have in my mfsmaster.cfg:
> # avoid swapping out process
> LOCK_MEMORY=1
>
> # reject mfsmounts older than 1.6.0
> REJECT_OLD_CLIENTS=1
>
> # only listen on internal network for security purposes
> MATOML_LISTEN_HOST=10.0.0.3
> MATOCS_LISTEN_HOST=10.0.0.3
> MATOCU_LISTEN_HOST=10.0.0.3

I restartet the master several times, but running "netstat -lnp" still 
shows me that the master is bound to 0.0.0.0:

> Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         
> State       PID/Program name
> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9419            0.0.0.0:*               
> LISTEN      177788/mfsmaster
> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9420            0.0.0.0:*               
> LISTEN      177788/mfsmaster
> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9421            0.0.0.0:*               
> LISTEN      177788/mfsmaster

Am I doing anything wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)
