openssh unix dev - Apr 2001 - RHL init.d/sshd ipv6 hack

Hello all,

I'm using the attached patch.

With it, if you add

OPTIONS="-6"

in

/etc/sysconfig/sshd

(this kind of sysconfig/<name> is a pretty normal RHL practice), then you
can enable ipv4 and ipv6 on RHL without problems and without having to
modify the init.d/sshd script.

This or something like should IMO be added.

Removing 'noreplace' from sshd_config definition in openssh.spec should
also be considered.

Applied, thanks.

As for 'noreplace'... Ermm.. Another one of those 'size of one, half
of
dozen of other'.  I have no opinion either way.
