Hi,
   I am having problem into getting ipfilter resolve hostnames to
ipv6 addresses.

Contents of ipf6.conf set on machine1(alpha1)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat ipf6.conf
#### Based on host name ###########
block in log quick from any to alpha2 port = 22
block in log quick from any to alpha2 port = 21

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipfstat -6io
empty list for ipfilter(out)
block in log quick from any to b490:8042:8012:a120::/32 port = 22
block in log quick from any to b490:8042:8012:a160::/32 port = 21

     In /etc/hosts i have the ipaddress hostname entry. But still it
picks up an arbit ip address. why does this happen and what am i
missing here ?

     How does ipfilter resolve the hostnames to ipv6 address ? Does
it look into /etc/hosts  ?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Manik

Its more certainly GNU
