And also the advanced > socket API? Please note that NetBSD itself doesn't have IPv6 in the kernel yet. There are two freely available implementations, though. One from INRIA, one from NRL (see http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-implementations.html). From a first glance, the INRIA implementation is more complete in that it has update not only the kernel but also all userland applications and libraries, it requires a full system rebuild to test, though. The NRL-implementation is "only" a kernel plus some applications (telnet(d), ftp(d), ...), but it has some extended emphasis on security and data encryption. There seems to be another implementation based on NetBSD/alpha, but i don't know more about that one. Hubert -- Hubert Feyrer <hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de>
