Please start with not saying bullshits. The FreeBSD kernel support both modes even if the default is bindv6only=1. Please note that the GNU/kFreeBSD people have never been contacted about changing this default value. As the FreeBSD kernel seems to be the new model in Debian, I will be happy to change the default value of net.inet6.ip6.v6only to 0 and report a serious bug against netbase as the default value of the Linux kernel doesn't match the one of the FreeBSD kernel. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
