FWIW, I wonder if the publication of http://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/, especially the paragraph: "OpenBSD also caused a lot of grief on the IPv6 front. The OpenBSD guys intentionally broke their IPv6 stack to not allow IPv4 connections to and from IPv6 sockets using the IPv4 mapped addresses that the IPv6 standard defines for thus purpose. I find this behaviour of pissing on internet standards despicable and unworthy of free operating systems." has inspired NetBSD's move. :-) -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --------------enig8C7EF88DF4BA259B4593726B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3-nr1 (Windows 2000) Comment: Using GnuPG with Netscape - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/n+erXhc68WspdLARAlfPAJ4kxeMf3cHxP4HYGumtJ8AtJun9cgCePzoI epmQ+TTImsCrv5Zfbqs69zc= =O+Yf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8C7EF88DF4BA259B4593726B--
