fellows, can one of you take over the validation and application of the attached patch? I only have a doubt about the "struct sockaddr_storage" and its compatibility, but I've not deeply gone through the patch... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Than Ngo Date: 21 nov. 2006 13:33 Subject: IPv6 patch To: aquette.dev Cc: mildew Hi Arnaud, the current nut does not support IPv6. Dan Kope?ek has written a patch to fix this issue. It would be nice if you could include the fix in next release.

It looks like we could test for the struct with autoconf, and include the example struct definition from RFC 2553 if necessary (since it is intended to be backwards-compatible with the old sockaddr_in). I don't have IPv6 set up correctly here at home, so I may not be the best one to integrate this patch, though. -- - Charles Lepple
