Most of applications that come with OS (ftp/telnet/whatever) are ready. Also, ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/ http://www2.kame.net/faq/fom.cgi?file=45 has tiny list of IPv6-ready applications. If you can supply patches for other applications, it would be really helpful (and I would like to merge your patches to KAME kit, and other places). Please refer to http://www.kame.net/newsletter/19980604/ and RFC2133/2292 for new library functions. The point is we MUST avoid gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr(). getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() gives much cleaner way to implement name lookups. itojun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
