We have a workstations acting as a router between 2 networks.  We need to
limit some of the tcp/udp services on one of the networks.  For example
ftpd and telnetd would only be available on the "secure" network.

The manual gives an example of using getpeername but I feel that using the
physical ethernet interface would be harder to fake then the internet
address.  So far I havn't figured out how to find out which interface my
socket is on.  Any pointers would be apreciated.

Anybody ever thought of separate services files for each interface?

Many thanks.
