samba - May 2004 - IPv6 Support

Jerry,

Read your slides from SambaXP 2004 but do not see any mention
of IPv6 support.

Do you have any plans to support IPv6 in the future ? Is there no
push for it in the foreseeable future ?

I attempted to send this question to samba@lists.samba.org
<mailto:samba@lists.samba.org>  but it kept kicking back to
me from System Administrator [postmaster@Savola.COM]

Thanks
Chuck

I know metze wants to push it in samba4, and there were patches for
Samba 2.2 around.  Now that we can see how MS does it, there is a chance
we can correctly frame our implementation.

One of the list members has a busted mail setup - your mails arrived to
the list intact.

Thanks much for the info.

I am currently in the process of testing the 2.x patches
and will forward test reports.

If the patch is contributed to the project for Samba 3.x or 4.x
do you have a time frame in mind for a target release (2005, 2006) ?

I can appreciate your dilemma with MS providing their direction.

Thanks again.
Chuck
