Why to force sshd to work only on IPv4? ListenAddress should be used only if you want to restrict the addresses to listen on. It should not be used on default configurations. Notice that the bug report is against Version 2.2.0p1-1.1, that's in unstable. So it's not the version to be released what has to change. BTW, while i amn't able of tracking original openssh 2.2.0p1 (that's my biggest gripe against debian packaging system, where are the .orig from? only the maintainer knows), i've notice that in Jan/2000 the bug i'm reporting was corrected in openssh main development line. > Also you, as the admin, are > free to exchange the following two lines in your sshd_config file, if > you really want to use IPv6: > |ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 > |#ListenAddress :: That's not a solution.

I believe that being so trivial to fix it, it should be changed to fixed, not put in the wait queue. > Ciao > Christian HoraPe --- Horacio J.
