Since by default IPV6_V6ONLY option is *turned off* by default for ipv6 sockets in Linux it is possible to use the IPV4-mapped IPV6 addresses to do the binding [1].
What I have tried was: $ export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=::ffff:127.0.1.1 $ epmd -d $ netstat -npta | grep 127.0.1.1:4369 tcp6 0 0 127.0.1.1:4369 :::* LISTEN 3544/epmd [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#IPv4-mapped_IPv6_addresses -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374109 Title: epmd does not support binding to an IPv4 address anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang/+bug/1374109/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
