Other network daemons offer run-time options for this sort of thing, letting sysadmins specify a "-4" or "-6" command line option to limit to ipv4/ipv6 capability and/or binding address/interface for the listening sockets (which imply protocol) Plus, our code in pmcd could be smarter, in that even if by default it were to open both ipv4 & ipv6, it would not complain about the failure of one. - FChE |
