My xinetd is currently configured to accept imap connections on *:imap, but I want to restrict the local address to imap.servername.org:imap. I've already tried to use the bind-option in the xinetd.conf, but this ignores the subdomain, i.e. I've tried

Code:

service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
bind = imap.myserver.org
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
disable = no
}

But a quick netstat reveals that the subdomain is ignored:

Code:

tcp 0 0 myserver.org:imap *:* LISTEN 14342/xinetd

Does anybody know how to achieve this?

Regards,
cvk

you are required to use the IP address instead of the name with bind.
