I'd like to make Samba listen on a specific network interface instead of listening on all interfaces. According to the Samba docs, I need to do something like this: $ sudo lsof -Pi | grep smbd smbd 1127 root 19u IPv4 0x5446e64 0t0 TCP *: 445 (LISTEN) smbd 1127 root 20u IPv4 0x681d66c 0t0 TCP *: 139 (LISTEN) Since Samba is under launchd control and the sockets it is listening on are passed to it, my first question is, should I and can I specify the interface I want in the smbd.plist? Looking through the launchd docs, I didn't see anything that looked like it would specify an interface. So maybe specifying the interface is the responsibility of the daemon. If so, then my second question would be if it would be appropriate to file a radar? (The interface I want to listen on is VMWare Fusion network interface that is bound only to the virtual machine that it is running. In other words, I want to use Samba to privately share files with a virtual machine that is running locally. I *don't* want Samba running on my local network.)
