How to have sshd and syslogd bind to the “first IP address” of an interface?












0














I'm trying to learn to use FreeBSD jails, and following the tutorial here. One of the tasks requires that the host's services not listen to all IP addresses.



When I look for these with sockstat|grep "*:[0-9]", I get:



# sockstat|grep "*:[0-9]"
root sshd 670 3 tcp6 *:22 *:*
root sshd 670 4 tcp4 *:22 *:*
root syslogd 477 6 udp6 *:514 *:*
root syslogd 477 7 udp4 *:514 *:*


The document lists how to get these services to listen to specific IPs, but they change the services to listen to a static IP address.



For example, for /etc/ssh/sshd_config:



ListenAddress 10.0.0.1
ListenAddress 2002::7ea9


For syslogd, editing /etc/rc.conf:



syslogd_flags="-a 10.0.0.1"


My machine is assigned an IP by DHCP and I cannot know the IP address until after boot. How do I go about configuring these services to instead only listen on the first IP address and not a static IP address?
