Package: x2vnc Version: 1.7.2-3 Severity: normal I'm trying to connect to a computer over IPv6 (v4 being firewalled off), but x2vnc doesn't like it, either plain or inside an SSH tunnel:
roland@mirexpress ~ $ host elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org has IPv6 address 2002:587f:a85e:0:240:d0ff:fe45:7670 roland@mirexpress ~ $ ping6 -c 1 elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org PING elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org(elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.323 ms --- elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.323/0.323/0.323/0.000 ms roland@mirexpress ~ $ ssh elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org hostname elastomir roland@mirexpress ~ $ x2vnc -noreconnect -tunnel elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org:0 x2vnc: couldn't convert 'elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org' to host address roland@mirexpress ~ $ x2vnc -noreconnect elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org:0 x2vnc: couldn't convert 'elastomir.placard.fr.eu.org' to host address roland@mirexpress ~ $ I'm especially troubled by the -tunnel option not working; x2vnc should pass the hostname to SSH as-is, rather than doing DNS resolution itself, so that SSH configuration (host aliases, SSH keys, etc.) could be used.
