is probably not a whole lot; may real concern is going through all
of the places throughout Xymon where the code assumes that an IP-

This is starting to become a priority for me.  I need to monitor my
ssh servers, but they all only respond now to ipv6, so I can't :-(.

It is moving up on my priority list as well - it seems that IPv6 is
(finally) seeing some real adoption. It won't be in the next version,
but probably the one after that.

Thanx, Henrik, as long as it's on the map, I'll wait.

We are also getting queried from IPv6 ready team about hobbit's
compliance with IPv6.

Would be nice to have this available as patch with 4.2.x instead of
waiting for 4.3.x.

Thanks

Hi,

sorry to catch up this old thread, but while doing an IPv6 check on
our infrastructure, I noticed that Hobbit doesn't seem to support any
IPv6 yet.

Yeah, here, too.

Glad to hear that.

Sounds good.

It's not yet known when exactly it will become available natively
here, but it seems coming in big steps towards us, so we're preparing
for the impact now.

		Kind regards, Axel Beckert
