Re: Fwd: server side ipv6 support

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

1: very nice, I didn't expect libssh to run on so many systems! The ones
I have no experience returns with are HP-UX, Sco openserver, OpenVMS. We
tested it on enough platforms to ensure that 32/64 bits and cpu
endianess aren't issues.

2: IPv6 support isn't built-in (we wanted to go the OpenSSH way and open
two sockets, and that got delayed...), but if you want it the fix is
trivial (change socket type and bind on :: instead of 0.0.0.0). Or go
Tilo's way and pass your own accept'ed socket.
