Hi... I think I've got everything I need to do to get my debian "testing" system set up right for ipv6, but it doesn't seem to be working. My network interfaces have inet6 addresses - Excerpt from ifconfig; lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 I have these lines in my apt sources.list deb http://people.debian.org/~kitame/ipv6 ipv6 unstable deb http://www14.u-page.so-net.ne.jp/db3/h-yamamo/ipv6/debian potato/ I have the ipv6 version of netkit-ping ii netkit-ping 0.17-0.1.ipv6r The ping utility from netkit But ping doesn't seem to recognise IPv6 addresses; jason@cds020:~$ ping ::1 ping: unknown host ::1 jason@cds020:~$ grep ip6-localhost /etc/hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback jason@cds020:~$ ping ip6-localhost ping: unknown host ip6-localhost What am I missing? Also, ssh refuses to connect to the localhost; jason@cds020:~$ ssh ::1 Secure connection to ::1 refused. Secondly, what is the current status of the debian IPv6 project? Not in terms of individual packages, but in terms of overall progress - are there active moves to make IPv6 more integrated with debian as a whole? (ie, towards making IPv6 at least as easy to set up as IPv4). Cheers :-) -- "No sense in making things worse by telling the truth" jason@khendon.org.uk
