Argus on FreeBSD

[Carter Bullard]

You need to BIND to localhost, if you want to access via localhost.  If BIND is to a specific address, you’ll need to “-S “ to the address.  If you want to access from localhost and the specific IP address, don’t use BIND … use a firewall to control who can get to argus or radium.  With radium and argus running together, usually argus BINDS to localhost, so anything external to the machine has to go through radium.

The v6 vs v4 shouldn't really be an issue, both argus and radium put down a “generic” listen down on the port (layer 4), which the os can support on any transport layer it likes (layer 3), so either v4 or v6 works fine.

All clients will try both v6 and v4 when it tries to get a connection, this is controlled by the os, so it shouldn’t matter.

Hope all is most excellent,
Carter
