>Description:

  [hosts.allow]
  ALL: [fe80::%re0/16]	# this works

but,

  [hosts.allow]
  ALL: [fe80::/16]	# this doesn't work.


>How-To-Repeat:

  hostA# echo 'ALL: [fe80::/16]' >> /etc/hosts.allow
  hostB# ssh fe80::6d9:f5ff:fe06:e273%wm2

connect to linklocal address of hostA, but connection refused.


>Fix:

In this case, it should be compared only addresses, with or without scope-id.

libwrap/hosts_access.c:masked_match6() always compares scope_id when the address is linklocal.
(e.g., string="fe80::1efd:8ff:fe70:5d2e%re0", net="fe80::", mask="16")

>    if (addr.sa.sa_family == AF_INET6 && addr.sin6.sin6_scope_id &&
>        addr.sin6.sin6_scope_id != net.sin6.sin6_scope_id)
>	return NO;

'addr' is a client address extracted by getaddrinfo() from 'string' argument,
and 'net' is address/mask written in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}.

when addr is a linklocal, the 2nd condition (addr.sin6.sin6_scope_id) is true, but
'net' may not have valid scope-id, therefore

    if (addr.sa.sa_family == AF_INET6 && addr.sin6.sin6_scope_id && net.sin6.sin6_scope_id &&
        addr.sin6.sin6_scope_id != net.sin6.sin6_scope_id)
	return NO;

However, this is too verbose, so the following is sufficient.
