Deep Space 6 Publishes New IPv6 Status Pages

Posted by michael on from the RSN dept.

Mauro Tortonesi writes "The Deep Space 6 initiative publishes the first of the new IPv6 Status Pages: Current Status of IPv6 Support for Networking Applications. The IPv6 Status Pages are a survey of the current status of IPv6 support for the Linux networking stack, system libraries and networking applications. At the moment there is only one page concerning the IPv6 support of Linux networking applications, but we are planning to publish more pages soon and to extend our target to other important UNIX-derived OSes (e.g. *BSD) too."

    It's a pretty useful list for UNIX users, however I don't see any Windows program that actually is doing IPv6 (for example Putty). It would be nice to also have such a list as I personally see IPv6 Win32 applications as the real breaktrough for IPv6.

    Slashdot - put your money where your mouth is, and implement IPv6 here. Run 6 over 4 if you don't want to get native IPv6 connectivity.

    The same goes for all site owners here.

      No, you put YOUR money where your mouth is. Use ipv4 over ipv6 for your own browsing.

  4. putty by Gavin+Rogers · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is an IPv6 capable putty client available at unfix.org.

    It works well but it doesn't seem to like connecting to '4 hosts. (yet...) I renamed the IPv6 version to putty6.exe to get around that problem :-)

    Matrix reloaded. When Trinity typed:
    ssh 10.0.0.2
    I realised that IPv6 is doomed.

    What's more, she did ssh -l root 10.0.0.2 and used *password* authentication. "The Architect" doesn't know shit about security. Allowing root access and not using public key authentication?? It's no wonder the Matrix keeps getting hacked. Forget about Agents, let's install a Kerberos realm and implement IPSec before "The Boss" fires "The Architect", "The Oracle" (btw, is she the DBA?), and the rest of the IT staff ("The Helpdesk")...
