change the interface a port is listening on.

[advolente]

I have port 4011 open and listening on interface 127.0.0.1 and I need it listening on 192.168.1.2, how do I do this?

Thank you for any help

netstat -tna

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:4011 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

what I would like for it to say is 192.168.1.2:4011

Thank you

You need to change the configuration of the program that is listening on this port. You haven't provided any details of this program, so I can't help you with it yet.

The program using this port is Postfix. The port is set in the master.cf file with the configuration line

4011    inet    n       -       n       -       -       smtpd

netstat -tnap shows the following output

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:4011              0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      3773/master         
    
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:465               0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      3773/master

I'm a little confused with the other line of netstat showing master using another port as I don't see that designated anywhere in the master.cf file (if that in fact is where that is coming from).

Hi there,

There is a page here which will probably help:

Postfix Basic Configuration

Specifically under: 'My own network addresses'
