Hi!

Within the last 1.5 weeks -current changes changed rpcbind's (and
maybe others) ipv4 behavior if 'net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0' is set (as
recommended in the www/netscape7 pkg) on a INET6 enabled system (i386
in my case): It no longer bind's to ipv4 addresses!

With the default ('net.inet6.ip6.v6only=1') rpcbind bind's to both,
ipv4 and ipv6.

It can simply be proven by '/etc/rc.d/rpcbind restart'ing after
toggling 'net.inet6.ip6.v6only={0,1}' and looking at 'netstat -a' or
'rpcinfo -p's output...

Is this a 'wanted' behavior? A bug (send-pr)?

Markus.
