I just noted in the messages log, that amanda _is_ using ipv6 in its system 
logging reports:

So, I guess it does work locally.  But I don't notice it making a report for 
the 4 dle's on the shop's emc machine?  All addresses above are this machine.  
Or would that be logged via that machines log?  But they are not logged there 
either, I just looked.  Maybe I have a debug level set here that is not set 
there?

It seems to work, but one gets curious & follows the trail with more 
questions. Maybe it only logs ipv6 usage?

I have the shop box defined in hosts as:
192.168.71.4    shop.coyote.den         shop
::ffff:192.168.71.4 shop.coyote.den6    shop6

But:
[r...@coyote MyGuns]# ping6 shop6
PING shop6(shop.coyote.den) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable

So it appears I need to work on my if-cfg-eth0 setups?

Someday, all this ipv6 stuff will need to work.  But this is probably not the 
list to ask how to do it on.
