Current File : //usr/share/doc/tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6/README.ipv6
The IPV6 code is enabled by uncommenting
IPV6 = -DHAVE_IPV6
Check your system specific make line for the entry IPV6="$(IPV6)"; it has not
been added to most yet.
The code was tested on Solaris 8 Beta. A single tcpd binary supports
IPV6 and IPV4 sockets as well as TLI (v4/v6).
The code successfully compiles on Solaris 7 + playground.sun.com IPV6 patch,
but I have not tested the binary.
The code also compiles on AIX using "-DHAVE_IPV6 -DUSE_GETHOSTBYNAME2"
The KILL_IPOPTIONS option doesn't work. (Something to do with IPV4 addresses
mapped inside IPV6 sockets)
The code extends the hosts.{allow,deny} syntax in a minor way. You can
now specify IPV6 address, like this:
# Ipv6 numeric address
someservice: [x:x:x::x]
# Ipv6 network
otherservice: [x:x:x::x/prefix]
Note that the "[" and "]" are part of the syntax; no whitespace is allowed
inside the [].
The datastructures have been modified such that we hope that
libwrap binary compatibility is maintained.
The original tcp_wrappers-7.6 files have been renamed and have a .org
extension; only this file (README.ipv6) was added.
