This is most likely related to the fact that linux has IP4-mapped addressing turned on by default, ie IPv4 connexions appear at the socket as IPv6 with v4 addresses mapped into the designated IPv6 address range (prefix ::ffff:0:0/96). FreeBSD has this turned off by default (sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only = 1), ie you have to set up separate sockets for v4 and v6. The above socket option is trying to do the same thing, ie turn off mapping so that the socket is strictly IPv6 only, and either (a) isn’t implemented in the linuxulator, or (b) fails because mapping is already turned off. Running on FreeBSD it may be safe to comment out the setsockopt(). I have never tried the alternative of setting sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only to 0 because that could break almost anything. -- Bob Bishop [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
