Hi
Sorry I wasn't very clear. When you don't set a daemon_addr it listens in at 0.0.0.0:[port]. and yes that means it is only listening in on ipv4 addresses when you use netstat -panltu. If it was listening on ipv6 & ipv4 it would come up as :::[port] (the :: is any address in ipv6, similar to 0.0.0.0 in ipv4) > > You can limit the daemon to a single IP address using the daemon_addr > configuration option. This is IPv4 only due to the limitations of > IO::Socket::INET I'm not a perl programmer by any means, but i found this http://search.cpan.org/~mondejar/IO-Socket-INET6-2.51/INET6.pm => IO::Socket::INET6, seems to wrapper up IO::Socket::INET and gives you ipv6 access. hopefully that could be a drop in replacement, which will allow apt-cacher to listen on ipv6 as well > > For anything more complicated you can use a combination of > allowed_hosts and denied_hosts or allowed_hosts_6 denied_hosts_6 for > ipv6. doesn't really help if it isn't listening on an ipv6 address, initial i saw these and thought, bugger sent in a bug report before the double checking. > > Does that achieve what you want? > > Mark >
