inetutils-ping6 is conceived to expect symbolic name resolution. Should anyone disagree, iputils-ping6 is available with a different default behaviour. Given compelling evidence, most design decisions are available for discussion, but at present this is where this project stands. > Iputils-ping does not show this: > > # ping6 2001:910:1059:2::1 > PING 2001:910:1059:2::1(2001:910:1059:2::1) 56 data bytes > 64 bytes from 2001:910:1059:2::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.047 ms > > How do fix the issue ? $ ping6 -n -c2 2001:910:1059:2::1 is your obvious choice. The switch '-n/--numeric' relaxes the default behaviour. Thank you for sharing your concerns. Mats Erik Andersson, member of GNU Inetutils
