What is the address: ::ffff:205.209.168.20
Is it the new ipv6 made to work on ipv4 or just something that I haven't seen before.
This individual (?) has made repeated attempts to ssh2 into my machine and I do not understand the address.
Hey Pat, You are so fond on manuals, aren't you? ;) I did a 'apropos ipv6', lo and behold: there is a manual page about ipv6! From 'man ipv6': Special addresses are ::1 for loopback and ::FFFF:<IPv4 address> for IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6. Cheers, Leen
