This bug was reported automaticaly in connection with IPv6 project. Our aim is to support IPv6 in all Fedora Core packages so FC6 and RHEL5 will be ready for IPv6. This package seems to lack IPv6 support as is illustrated in attached log. Here follows part of scanning log (grep -r F_INET *)/up to 30 lines: /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/lib/rpc_subs.c:73: raddr.sin_family = AF_INET; /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/lib/rpc_subs.c:98: fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP); /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/lib/rpc_subs.c:101: laddr.sin_family = AF_INET; /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/lib/rpc_subs.c:261: addr.sin_family = AF_INET; /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/lib/rpc_subs.c:281: fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, info->proto->p_proto); /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/modules/replicated.c:90: sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/modules/replicated.c:117: case AF_INET: /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/modules/replicated.c:141: case AF_INET: /autofs-5.0.0_beta5/modules/replicated.c:703: saddr.sin_family = AF_INET;

I've started work on it but it will be a while before it is in a state to merge it into the source tree. I must point out that my main focus on this is to use IPv6 ready API functions where possible, such as for name lookup, but the bulk of the changes will do nothing initially as dependent subsystems are not IPv6 ready. Specifically the glibc sunrpc subsystem. Also I expect I'll need a bit of help and advice. Can I expect to get this support from ipv6 list? Ian
Yes, you can. Ulrich's IPv6 introduction may help you: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html
Still, we can't be fully IPV6 compliant until we ship a sunrpc implementation that is.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This still needs to be addressed.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
