Description David Woodhouse 2007-02-09 23:48:46 UTC
Run p0f on workstation.

Connect to workstation's SMTP port from some machine elsewhere... see no output
from p0f. Connect to workstation's IPv4 address by number instead of by name...
see p0f report the connection.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2007-02-11 16:55:22 UTC
How would you suggest this be fixed?

Upstream has no ipv6 support at all. I suppose I could ask them about it... 
I'm accepting patches if you can add ipv6 support... ;) 

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2007-02-11 17:02:37 UTC
Personally, I feel that's the job of the Fedora maintainer of the package in
question.

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2007-02-12 17:24:11 UTC
In reply to comment #2: 

To contact the maintainer? 
Surely. I have done so... will let you know what he says. 

To code enhancements to software that someone is simply packaging from upstream?
If time and interest permits, great, but I don't think it's a requirement that 
package maintainers do so.

Comment 4 David Woodhouse 2007-02-18 10:19:22 UTC
I meant the latter. Fedora is a fully IPv6-capable distribution, and it is the
responsibility of the package maintainer to ensure that packages meet the
standards we expect. I think the concept of 'simply packaging' should be
discouraged.

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
