--- Begin Message ---Package: xinetd Version: 1:2.3.14-1.1 xinetd does not bind to IPv6 addresses (and does not seem to have an option to do so) when used in -inetd_compat mode. As current inetd's are IPv6-aware, this is a problem: this means xinetd cannot be used as a drop-in inetd replacement. The attached patch is a suggestion: it adds a -inetd_ipv6 global option that, if used, causes inetd-compatibility lines to have an implicit "IPv6" option. Perhaps this is not the best solution, but there should definitely be a way to get inetd.conf to be read in IPv6-aware mode. -- David A.
