wouldn't it be possible to change this whilst editing
<params.h> within the source? I just downloaded popa3d
and it shows:
/*
* The address and port to listen on.
*/
#define DAEMON_ADDR "0.0.0.0" /* INADDR_ANY */
#define DAEMON_PORT 110
but I have to mention that I dunno if the port can handle this. :/ must
check first
But at least it should be possible to bind popa3d to a specific interface.
