Thanks for your work! I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to look at your patches sooner. I've tried the code (...nmu-2.diff), with ftp-ssl and filezilla as clients, and everything seems to work ok. I don't have a proper ipv6 infrastructure here, so I only tested with localhost, but everything seems fine. Alberto, are you planning to use this code? It would be easier for me if linux-ftpd-ssl gets the patch via "upstream" from your linux-ftpd package. > A working xinetd configuration is included. Openbsd-inetd remains > untested! I had a look into modifying the maintainer scripts to support ipv6 under openbsd-inetd. It appears the only way that works is to have two entries, one tcp and one tcp6, but update-inetd refuses to add more than one entry. There are bugs open against update-inetd about this, one of which is over ten years old! net.ipv6.bindv6only doesn't seem to make a difference in this case. Looking at a random selection of other packages that rdepend on openbsd-inetd, it looks like they just add a tcp entry, which won't work with ipv6. So, if I'm right, the only thing to do is to document that admins who want ipv6 support should manually add a tcp6 entry to /etc/inetd.conf. Oh, and make sure that maintainer scripts don't cause an error with this configuration during upgrades. One more thing, Mats, it occurs to me that your changes (to linux-ftpd and netkit-ftp) are significant enough we should clarify the license. The current code base is licensed under a standardish bsd-style license, copyright Carnegie Mellon University, although of course it has been hacked on by a gazillion others over the years. Are you happy for your changes to follow the same license? I think you would be well within your rights to ask for something like: "Portions Copyright 2010 Mats Erik Andersson, licensed as above" in debian/copyright, and/or the source files you changed. thanks again! Ian. PS Mats: I also updated netkit-ftp-ssl with your patch for #579532, thanks! -- Ian Beckwith - i...@erislabs.net - http://erislabs.net/ianb/ GPG fingerprint: AF6C C0F1 1E74 424B BCD5 4814 40EC C154 A8BA C1EA Listening to: Dead Can Dance - Closer To Heaven - The Host Of Seraphim
