Package: openssh-client Version: 1:5.6p1-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: ipv6 While IPv6 is not pervasive and IPv4 addresses growing sparse, port forwarding will likely see increased usage. Hence, I expect many more ssh_config stanzas like Host myhost Port 22016 Hostname … to facilitate accessing these hosts behind NATting gateways. Unfortunately, this also affects IPv6 connections, even though IPv6 can (and usually does) restore p2p-connectivity. It would thus be nice if there were an option e.g. Port4 which only changed the port for IPv4 connections; if the connection happens through IPv6, the port is left unchanged. The corresponding Port6 option is probably not needed, though. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.38 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libedit2 2.11-20080614-2 BSD editline and history libraries ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4 SSL shared libraries ii passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-2 change and administer password and ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openssh-client recommends: ii openssh-blacklist 0.4.1 list of default blacklisted OpenSS pn openssh-blacklist-extra <none> (no description available) ii xauth 1:1.0.5-1 X authentication utility Versions of packages openssh-client suggests: ii gtk-led-askpass [ssh-askpass] 0.11-1 GTK+ password dialog suitable for pn keychain <none> (no description available) pn libpam-ssh <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/ssh/ssh_config changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
