The kernel is fully IPv4 and IPv6 supported. The system-programs (syslogd, named, ssh(d), telnet, ping, netstat etc etc etc) support IPv4 and IPv6. The programs in the ports directory might, or might not, be supporting IPv6. I've had some programs which do, some programs which don't. Some can be found by grepping for ipv6 in the INDEX file, some are it without having this tag. Now and then I'm happily surprised when I use it and suddenly see them using it. If you want to play with a "real" ipv6 interface, try the freenet6 port in /usr/ports/net/freenet6. It's pretty cool :-) Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.MavEtJu.org edwin@mavetju.org | Interested in MUDs?
