Does Samba4 Alpha6 support IPV6?

Hi All:

 

I downloaded and installed Samba4 Alpha6 on my IPV6 compatible Linux
client. 

I tried to use smbclient to connect a share using IPV4 IP, it works.

I tried to use smbclient to connect another share using IPV6 IP, it
failed with BAD_NETWORK_NAME error.

 

I searched on Google for "Samba4" and IPV6,  I think Samba4 doesn't
support IPV6.

Could anybody confirm this for me?

 

Thanks
