** Description changed:
Binary package hint: smbldap-tools
Connecting to IPv6 LDAP servers gives "erreur LDAP: Can't contact master
ldap server for writing (IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection refused)
at /usr/share/perl5/smbldap_tools.pm line 322."
Net::LDAP in Lucid does support IPv6. However this has to be explicitly set,
and if you do, you also need libio-socket-inet6-perl.
Once you install that, and change /usr/share/perl5/smbldap_tools.pm like:
- $ldap_master = Net::LDAP->new(
- "$config{masterLDAP}",
- inet6 => 1,
- port => "$config{masterPort}",
+ $ldap_master = Net::LDAP->new(
+ "$config{masterLDAP}",
+ inet6 => 1,
+ port => "$config{masterPort}",
Then it works.
- However it seems a bit of a kludge to have to manually define inet6
- boolean.
-
- Looking at
http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/IO-Socket-INET6-2.67/lib/IO/Socket/INET6.pm, I
see that that does 4+6.
- So I guess the long-term solution is to fix Net::LDAP so that it uses only
INET6.pm, and accepts an optional flag to force address family in case of
connection problems.
+ Looking around I discovered that the entire state of IPv6 in Perl is, well,
sub-optimal.
+ It could be fixed at several levels: smbldap-tools, Net::LDAP, or in the Perl
core.
