I need an NIS server that supports IPv6. I initially tried with FreeBSD but found that every piece of the yp suite supported IPv6 except ypserv. Then someone told me that NetBSD's ypserv supported it, so I gave it a try, and they're right, it does! But you know what, in the case of NetBSD, every piece of the yp suite supports IPv6 except ypbind. This is maddening! How can both of these projects have non-overlapping holes in their yp suites like this? Here's some console & sockstat output to show what I'm talking about: http://pastebin.ca/1218428 Thanks, -G -- /* * Glen R. J. Neff * RTP TSG Network Team * neff_glen@emc.com * * EMC^2 == E^2 */
