Greetings, After several trials, I finally managed to get obsbox running on a debian linux-box. For the time being, it seams to work OK. (I use it because I'm a network engineer at an ISP here in Belgium and I need a test-application for IP multicasting and IP-multicast peering with other ISPs). As the box is connected on the 'unprotected internet'; I'm a bit worried about the management-port service (at TCP port 4420). The way it is configured, it seams to be 'wide open' for anybody to connect to. Is it possible to configure obsbox that it is 'bind' to IP-address 127.0.0.1 (so you can only connect to it; when using that IP_address; so -in this case- only when you are on the box itself). I've been browsing throu the code-source but I'm not a C++ programmer; so I'm a bit lost. But, I know that in "standard" C; using the 'standard socket-library' when you set up a 'listening TCP-socket' it is possible to define to what IP_address/interface it is bound to. Is there somewhere an option to (either) configure this into the code; or can somebody say where I can change this? Cheerio! Kr. Bonne. |
