How can I disable > that my inet services (exim & pop3d) listen depends on what you're running and how you're running them. plain old inetd can't bind to a particular interface, but xinetd can. exim can be set to listen on a particular interface; see the local_interfaces configuration directive.

Of course, you could use a packet filter to block incoming requests on all but the desired interface to achieve the same result. This has the added advantage of working for any and all programs, including inetd-started ones, and, if designed correctly, your packet filter can help serve as a safety net when setting up new services as well. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
