It appears that both IPv4 and IPv6 are tried, and both fail from connection refused. However, the messages are different and confusing. Should probably read: Trying 127.0.0.1... connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Trying ::1... connect to address ::1: Connection refused ... Also, rsh now appears to retry connecting via the same medium multiple times (6 times, in this case). I do not believe it used to do that, satisfying itself with one connection refused on IPv4 before giving up. >How-To-Repeat: Comment out rsh stuf in inetd.conf rsh localhost >Fix: None available. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
