ip6config [was: Re: [revisited] DHCPv6 support needed by others as well...]




Let me chime in a word on the enthusiasm Apple brings up for IPv6:
There's a tool that's supposed to help setting up 6to4, ip6config(8).
I've written this tool some time ago for NetBSD, and Apple took it and added it to Mac OS. I've since tried to tell Apple that there's a newer version of the tool out there, but I've never got a useful reply.


In case anyone's interested, the script etc. is here:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/net/hf6to4/files/?only_with_tag=MAIN

Homepage, sort of: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/pkgsrc/net/hf6to4/files/hf6to4.html?rev=1.4&content-type=text/html&only_with_tag=MAIN

New features:
 * doesn't require perl
 * copyright header(! - thanks for slapping on your own, Apple!)
 * handle RFC 3068 6to4-anycast addresses
 * some bugfixes

So who has the commit bits to update this in OS X?
Feel free to contact me! :)
