My machine's IPv6 config seems to be up the creek.
It's a LAN internet gateway with debian, iptables, and dnsmasq for
a DHCP and DNS server.
The most obvious symptom is IPv6 ping6 doesn't work.
This is on Debian Etch linux 2.6.20 - can anyone tell me what controls
the config for IPv6 here?
adam@isengard:~$ sudo ping6 ::1
Password:
PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
I also found this while searching:
http://storybridge.org/wordpress/2007/06/20/dnsmasq-does-not-like-ipv6/
which sounds useful but I'm not sure why it would work or where it
should go.
The worst effect of this is that it's causing a time-out issue with the Apache
Tomcat web server, and essentially I'm getting a connection time-out and failure
during tomcat's start-up routine.
I have this working fine on a workstation machine, so I figured it must be
something I've done with my server's config.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
