793 is done from the main function, and control doesn't get here.)
795 Root privilege is required in order to attach to port 25. Some systems require
796 it when calling socket() rather than bind(). To cope with all cases, we run as
797 root for both socket() and bind(). Some systems also require root in order to
798 write to the pid file directory. This function must therefore be called as root
799 if it is to work properly in all circumstances. Once the socket is bound and
800 the pid file written, root privilege is given up if there is an exim uid.

818 possible on various ports. This is controlled by the combination of
819 local_interfaces (which can set IP addresses and ports) and daemon_smtp_port
820 (which is a list of default ports to use for those items in local_interfaces
821 that do not specify a port). The -oX command line option can be used to
822 override one or both of these options.
824 If local_interfaces is not set, the default is to listen on all interfaces.
825 When it is set, it can include "all IPvx interfaces" as an item. This is useful
826 when different ports are in use.
828 It turns out that listening on all interfaces is messy in an IPv6 world,
829 because several different implementation approaches have been taken. This code
830 is now supposed to work with all of them. The point of difference is whether an
831 IPv6 socket that is listening on all interfaces will receive incoming IPv4
832 calls or not. We also have to cope with the case when IPv6 libraries exist, but
833 there is no IPv6 support in the kernel.
835 . On Solaris, an IPv6 socket will accept IPv4 calls, and give them as mapped
836 addresses. However, if an IPv4 socket is also listening on all interfaces,
837 calls are directed to the appropriate socket.
839 . On (some versions of) Linux, an IPv6 socket will accept IPv4 calls, and
840 give them as mapped addresses, but an attempt also to listen on an IPv4
841 socket on all interfaces causes an error.
843 . On OpenBSD, an IPv6 socket will not accept IPv4 calls. You have to set up
844 two sockets if you want to accept both kinds of call.
846 . FreeBSD is like OpenBSD, but it has the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option, which
847 can be turned off, to make it behave like the versions of Linux described
850 . I heard a report that the USAGI IPv6 stack for Linux has implemented
853 So, what we do when IPv6 is supported is as follows:
855 (1) After it is set up, the list of interfaces is scanned for wildcard
856 addresses. If an IPv6 and an IPv4 wildcard are both found for the same
857 port, the list is re-arranged so that they are together, with the IPv6
860 (2) If the creation of a wildcard IPv6 socket fails, we just log the error and
861 carry on if an IPv4 wildcard socket for the same port follows later in the
862 list. This allows Exim to carry on in the case when the kernel has no IPv6
865 (3) Having created an IPv6 wildcard socket, we try to set IPV6_V6ONLY if that
866 option is defined. However, if setting fails, carry on regardless (but log
869 (4) If binding or listening on an IPv6 wildcard socket fails, it is a serious
872 (5) If binding or listening on an IPv4 wildcard socket fails with the error
873 EADDRINUSE, and a previous interface was an IPv6 wildcard for the same
874 port (which must have succeeded or we wouldn't have got this far), we
875 assume we are in the situation where just a single socket is permitted,
876 and ignore the error.
