lpd with IPv6 support -- testing and patch needed



Hi,

I have prepared a new version of lpr which should include
full IPV6 support. 

http://people.debian.org/~adamm/

The current problem is that it cannot tolerate IPv4 addresses [1]
as it can only bind to an IPv6 address and cannot do the 
same port on IPv4... [yes, I know, this is a "feature" of linux 2.4].
ie. you will NOT be able to connect from remote IPv4 clients.

If anyone knows of a good, quick fix for this, then
please send me a patch. Note that lpr must also
work on legacy IPv4 only systems... 

Once I get the IPv4 part working, I'll upload this to unstable
but it might be another week until I have time for this.
