It's just a rumor - I've heard no technical arguments to back it up. For all that I know, KAME might very well be far superior to INRIA in every respect. > If it is packaging issues, I would like to state the following for > KAME 2.2.7 kit: > - we intentionally NOT overwriting existing tools, > like /usr/bin/ftp.

I actually would like to see a more thorough integration with the standard tools being able to deal with both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. It probably makes sense to hold off on doing that work until KAME becomes a standard part of the system, however - doing so now would make it a lot more difficult to track FreeBSD-current. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
