Package: dovecot Version: 1:1.2.13-1 Severity: minor Tags: ipv6 The comment for the listen/ssl_listen statement is misleading:
# IP or host address where to listen in for connections. It's not # currently possible to specify multiple addresses. "*" listens in # all IPv4 interfaces. "[::]" listens in all IPv6 interfaces, but # may also listen in all IPv4 interfaces depending on the # operating system. First of all, if I specify [::], then dovecot 1.2 will only listen on IPv6, not IPv4, independent of the net.ipv6.bindv6only setting. This is a change from 1.0, where [::] with net.ipv6.bindv6only==0 would also accept IPv4 connections. And second, the way to get IPv4+IPv6 both working is to specify *, [::] which is a bit in contrast to what the comment says about multiple addresses. Thanks to Kurt Roeckx for help in debugging this. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
