freebsd stable - Jun 2004 - Another unimportant BIND named patch

[drop the above ipv6-only address that only sometimes works from the
 recipients and I'll catch up later from the archives, thanks]


Heh heh heh.

I'm not sure if this is worthy of a fix, or of what the state of
patches to vendor branches is.

The BIND named source code supplied with FreeBSD RELENG_4 has a
trivial error, where an IPv6 problem is logged as an IPv4 problem.

This is fixed by the following patch:


--- db_load.c-ORIG	Mon Aug 25 23:07:48 2003
+++ db_load.c	Tue May 11 16:47:51 2004
@@ -1043,7 +1043,7 @@
 
 			case ns_t_aaaa:
 				if (inet_pton(AF_INET6, buf, data) <= 0)
-					ERRTO("IPv4 Address");
+					ERRTO("IPv6 Address");
 				n = NS_IN6ADDRSZ;
 				endline(fp);
 				break;



Question:  Is this something that should be patched in FreeBSD,
or is it something that needs to be sent upstream to the ISC
(not that it's critical or anything)?  Or both (ideally)?


thanks

This is just plain annoying. If you want to correspond with people, use 
an e-mail address that works.

This is fixed in the release candidate version of the latest BIND 8. 
Because it's a trivial item, it's not worth patching now, it should be 
fixed in the next import instead.
