I'm trying to write a simple finger daemon, capable of both IP4 and IP6.
At present it's using an unprivileged socket so as to avoid problems on
unix platforms.
I appear to be having problems at the bind() call for IP6 (returns -1),
which I suspect is down to my incomplete understanding of the new
sockaddr_in6 structure. Has anybody done this successfully?
As a subsidiary question: noting that a client has to be aware of this:
sockaddr_in6 = packed Record
{$ifdef SOCK_HAS_SINLEN} // as per RFC 2553
sin6_len : cuint8;
{$endif}
sin6_family : sa_family_t;
..
so that it initialises the sin6_len field if present (some BSD
variants?), does it see that conditional automatically if defined?
Otherwise how best to do it?
