This different behavior was because of this patch: 0020-Compatibility-fix-for-ListenAddress.patch Since it got removed with the OpenSSH update to 9.9p1[1] then the ListenAdress behavior changed and is now aligned with the upstream OpenSSH.

The explanation for different ListenAdress behavior is directly in the patch that got removed: In SunSSH, a config that specifies only "ListenAddress ::" in fact will listen on both IPv4 and IPv6. So in short, it was so for historical reasons. -- +-------------------------------------------+ | Marcel Telka e-mail: mar...@telka.sk | | homepage: http://telka.sk/ | +-------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
