The tcp code in ganglia makes the non-portable assumption that wildcard binds will forward packets between the IPv4 and IPv6 stacks. The RFCs require this, but none of the BSDs except for Darwin support this because KAME feels it is a bad idea. See the "Interaction between IPv4/v6 sockets" section of the inet6(4) manpage:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=inet6 Since ganglia supports multiple sockets already, this should be easy to do by silently converting wildcard channels in to v4 and v6 channels. Weirdly, gmond was working for me on FreeBSD, but after monkeying with the channels and restarting, it stopped working and started spinning when run even when I reverted the changes. Does it store any state some place odd? This is 2.6.0.200501241642. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
