Does Samba4 Alpha6 support IPV6?

[David Holder]

Peixing,

Hi! The old patch can be found here
http://www.ipv6consultancy.com/ipv6blog/?p=34.

I just quickly updated it for Samba4-alpha7 (see attached). It seems to
work ;-).

This is really a rough hack. All it does it make the Samba4 server
listen on IPv4 and IPv6. Configuration options and command line options
will only accept IPv4 addresses. For example, if you want to use
smbclient with IPv6 addresses then use the Samba 3.2 or Samba 3.3
version of smbclient which is IPv6 enabled.

Samba 4 isn't too far off being IPv6 enabled. The libraries are there
(from Samba 3) and most of the code would be trivial to change.

I would be very interested to know how you get on. Let me know if you
have any questions.

Regards,
David
