Passing -N on the command line works nicely to bind to a specific IP. Thanks.

When you have a moment, please add that switch to the man page, I'm sure others would like to know about it.

I'm not a C coder, but I'm confused about https://github.com/rvanlaar/csync2/blob/master/csync2.c#L276  I'm guessing that (on FreeBSD at least) it binds to an IPv6 socket and then exits the loop.



For anyone else following this thread, note that the argument for -N has to match the name of the host in your configuration file. If you use an IP address for -N but the hostname in the configuration file, then it will not work.

Finally, when you upgrade to 2.0, there is a new version of sqlite which has different filenames (ending in .db3 instead of .db). This causes csync to think it is syncing for the first time.
