tcp wrappers and ipv6?

Hi,

(Sorry for the [probably] duplicate thread; does anyone know how to search 'as a phrase' with PHPBB so I can find it if this has been mentioned before?)

TCP-wrappers (pacman package tcp_wrappers 7.6-6) does not seem to have IPv6 support. It kept saying "refused connect from 0.0.0.0" and after googling that (which does support phrase searching everything pointed to it being an IPv6/v4 issue. So, I disabled IPv6 in sshd (the service that was giving me trouble), and sure enough I started getting proper hostnames instead of 0.0.0.0 .

Pacman says my tcp_wrappers is up-to-date; is there another package source somewhere from which I can easily get the IPv6 version?

Re: tcp wrappers and ipv6?

Well, it's not on any of the Arch repos, if that's what you mean. You'd need to get the source tarball and build it yourself. Alternatively, you could post a request for it in the AUR Package Requests forum - someone might do a PKGBUILD for it.
