I don't want to blow the discussion once again, but the security issue is not only hypothetical. When I started using IPv6 I was deeply disappointed when one daemon started ignoring my acls because of that. Of course the daemon is fixed now, but the accident proves the risk is real. > Also > ties the hands of the system administrator, who may want to treat > v6-mapped addresses differently than the corresponding native IPv4 > address.) I have no idea why one might want to do that. Jarek. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
