[Samba] Samba name/address mismatch

[David Holder]

Hi Francesco,

The IPv6 address ::ffff:192.168.168.202 is called an IPv4 mapped IPv6 
address. It is a way of referring to an IPv4 address using an IPv6 
address. Its use here is a feature of the way the code is written and 
the IPv6 socket API.

Matchname needs changing to take this into account. I would suggest that 
you raise this as a bug.

Best Regards,
David
