Bug ID: 270457
Summary: Location wildcard port specification required for only
IPv6 addresses in blacklistd.conf
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The specification for location in man blacklistd.conf is
[<address>|<interface>][/mask][:<port>]
with the note that IPv6 addresses should be enclosed in square brackets.
While bare IPv4 addresses can be used without optional /mask or :port IPv6 will
only work if the wildcard specification for port is used ie :*
[2610:1c1:1:606c::50:3]:*
Without the port wildcard this error is reported:
getnum: /etc/blacklistd.conf, nn: Bad number for service []
Thanks to Michael Grimm for discovering this workaround.
Using IPv6 seems be like having enough roughage in your diet. Everyone knows
you should be doing that but still eat junk food (IPv4).
