>Description:

    A bug in INN 2.4.1 prevents it from binding to a specified address.
    Normally one should be able to use the "bindaddress" option in /var/news/etc/inn.conf
    but its value is not used.  The code will report an error if the argument of "bindaddress"
    is not a dotted quad but will not use it because the C code does not set "addr_specified" to true.

    I'm submitting this bug report so you can include it in a pkgsrc patch, if appropriate.
    I will also send a copy to inn-bugs@isc.org

>How-To-Repeat:

    In /var/news/etc/inn.conf, set "bindaddress" to 127.0.0.1, ie include the line
	bindaddress:	127.0.0.1
    Restart innd and type "netstat -anf inet" which will show

	Active Internet connections (including servers)
	Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
	tcp        0      0  *.119                  *.*                    LISTEN

    whereas it should instead be

	Active Internet connections (including servers)
	Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
	tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.119          *.*                    LISTEN

>Fix:

    Two possibilities:

	Quick Hack:
	    Add
		innflags:              "-I 127.0.0.1"
	    (or equiv) to inn.conf

	Correct solution:
	    Set "addr_specified" flag to make inndstart use the given address.
