The 6bone was defunct as of 6 June 2006 (which is a nifty date). The code and manpage still reference this, whereas the servers no longer respond and they are only of historical interest. >How-To-Repeat: %whois -6 2001:0470::0 whois: connect(): Connection refused >Fix: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/128725 is about the fact that you should simply be able to specify a v6 address on the command line and it should work, and at the time of submission needed work from the ARIN end as well. That may not still apply as ARIN correctly handles v6 addresses now. This is not a duplicate of this bug. While that is also important, this specific patch is simply about removal of the 6bone references from the docs, and possibly remapping -6 to be an alias for -a, if it is not decided to make the functionality automatic. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
