Hi... I think I've got everything I need to do to get my debian "testing" system set up right for ipv6, but it doesn't seem to be working.
My network interfaces have inet6 addresses - Excerpt from ifconfig;
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
I have these lines in my apt sources.list
deb http://people.debian.org/~kitame/ipv6 ipv6 unstable
deb http://www14.u-page.so-net.ne.jp/db3/h-yamamo/ipv6/debian potato/
I have the ipv6 version of netkit-ping
ii netkit-ping 0.17-0.1.ipv6r The ping utility from netkit
But ping doesn't seem to recognise IPv6 addresses;
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping ::1
ping: unknown host ::1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep ip6-localhost /etc/hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping ip6-localhost
ping: unknown host ip6-localhost
What am I missing?
Also, ssh refuses to connect to the localhost;
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh ::1
Secure connection to ::1 refused.
Secondly, what is the current status of the debian IPv6 project? Not in
terms of individual packages, but in terms of overall progress - are
there active moves to make IPv6 more integrated with debian as a
whole? (ie, towards making IPv6 at least as easy to set up as IPv4).
Cheers :-)
