Hi All, I apologize for this OT question but it's extremely brief and my eyes are getting cranky. Could somebody please verify I haven't mangled this IPv6 PTR / rDNS string? I've been looking at this stuff so long today all the 0's and dots and 1's are running together. 2001:740:22:3::ab --> cehartung.com b.a.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.3.\ 0.0.0.2.2.0.0.0.0.4.7.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.

I finally came across dig's -x flag, which generates the reverse bit-wise notation for you: dig -x <IPv6address> So much easier! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, for starters, you seem to have 37 hex digits, instead of 32. Also, there appears to be an extra "0" between .2.2. and .4.7.1. that perhaps belongs between the .4.7. and .1.0.0.2. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Wow! You're right, of course! ... (I don't know a good ASCII representation for 'googly eyes') Obviously I just don't know when to 'pack it in for the night,' sometimes <blush.> I hope you caught my 'dig -x' follow-up note, though. That is *so* much easier! Thanks for the feedback, James Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
