<BODY>
<H2>The interface to bind to, can now be specified on the command line</H2>
<P>
If you specified `y' (yes) to the configuration question during `<EM>make config</EM>'
wether or not you wanted <B>VIRTUAL HOSTING</B>, then now you can specify
the interface that you want the daemon to bind to by IP-number on the
command line.
<P>
Example:
<PRE>
$ ircd -w 123.456.789.012
</PRE>
<P>
The given parameter must resolv with gethostbyname(3).
<P>
You can use the UNIX command `<EM>ifconfig -a</EM>' to find out which interfaces
you have and what the IP-number of these interfaces is. For example:
<PRE>
$ ifconfig -a
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1

UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

</PRE>
Shows that I have four interfaces with three different the IP-numbers:
127.0.0.1, 194.109.13.237 and 192.168.1.1.
If no -w command line option is given, the daemon falls back to trying
to resolve the servername as specified in the M: line.
