Package: ucarp Version: 1.5-2 Severity: important
Trying to use ucarp for ipv6 addresse results in following error message (when calling ucarp with appropriate options): [ERROR] Invalid address: [2003::ffff:1] (*) 2003::ffff:1 = anonymized ipv6 example The problem is the syntactical ip address check defined in ucarp.c. Source and virtual ip (-s and -a) are checked with if (inet_pton(AF_INET, optarg, &srcip) == 0) This could not work with ipv6 address. I recompiled ucarp with AF_INET replaced by AF_INET6 (i know this isn't a patch cause it breaks ipv4 functionality), but then following error occurs: [WARNING] Spawning [/usr/share/ucarp/vip-down eth1.329 2003::ffff:1] [ERROR] Can't do IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP errno=No such device (19) If i understand the appropriate code in carp.c then again this is ipv4 only code. But i don't have the knowledge of c programming to fix this. Or am i completely wrong and ucarp shouldn't support ipv6? regards, matthias .... trying to build a two node HA ipv6 only firewall -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
