Default value of net.ipv6.bindv6only should revert to 0. 1. RFC 3493 explicitly allows applications to use AF_INET6 socket to receive IPv4 connection. 2. If some applications want to restrict their use of an AF_INET6 socket to IPv6 communications only, they can use IPV6_V6ONLY. It is effective even if net.ipv6.bindv6only is 0. (In addition, RFC 3493 explicitly says IPV6_V6ONLY is turned off (0) by default.) 3. Default value of net.ipv6.bindv6only is 0 in Linux kernel and other Linux distributions. We should never introduce such meaningless incompatibility. If an application does not work with net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1, it does not mean that program is broken. But if an application does not work with net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0, it's broken as Linux application. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages netbase depends on: ii initscripts 2.87dsf-10 scripts for initializing and shutt ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages netbase recommends: ii ifupdown 0.6.10 high level tools to configure netw netbase suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Kazuo Oishi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
