There are many other tools that may _potentially_ fail to work with IPV6, not just "tc". good candidates are those that use gethostbyname() #scanelf -lpqs -gethostbyname to get an idea. What is "scanelf"? cer@nimrodel:~> webpin scanelf No results found for "scanelf" in openSUSE_110
A utility to inspect ELF libraries (just about every library on a modern LINUX system). awilliam@linux-m3mt:~> scanelf -lpqs -gethostbyname gethostbyname /opt/kde3/lib/libDCOP.so.4.2.0 gethostbyname /opt/kde3/lib/libmcop.so.1.0.0 ... Will list every library that uses the "gethostbyname" API. Which will be just about everything network related. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the relevant library, or the application that uses it, will be affected in any real way by the IPv6 bug in gethostbyname [with this bug it is *very* unlikely to have much real-world bite except on really bad code]. <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=455762> Note: <quote source="http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5479"> This never worked, people hardly ever use mapped addresses, and gethostby* should not *EVER* be used in the first place.

IPv6 works great, there are [of course] a few things still need to get completely up to speed, but there is no significant mainstream block to adoption. -- openSUSE <http://www.opensuse.org/en/> Linux for human beings who need to get things done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
