NIS server over IPv6
Hi Group, I wish to know whether FreeBSD supports NIS server running over IPv6 protocol? I'm clueless in getting information about NIS server over IPv6 configuration and availability in any Unix flavors including *BSDs, Solaris or Linux distros.

Except from configuring IPv6 and host resolving correctly, I don't think there's anything different with respect to NIS. It's all based on host and domainnames, so if a domain has one or more hosts with only IPv6 address, then it'll use IPv6. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: NIS server over IPv6
I think, the underlying RPC portmapper needs to be ipv6-aware. Whether this is supported in FreeBSD? Do you think no other configuration changes needed for NIS server / client running natively over IPv6 network? Thanks!

I can't think of a network utility/daemon in stock FreeBSD that isn't actually. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
