System: NetBSD gornik 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (GENERIC) #1: Thu Mar 14 10:39:39 CET 2002 root@gornik:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Yes, I know it's in manual BUGS section, but isn't it stupid ?
Following that NetBSD was 1st free os that support IPv6 and
even such utility like host doesn't support it ?
I've run now IPv6 only NetBSD box and ? it seems that I have
to install bind9 just for ipv6 support in host utility ..
I don't like it..
>How-To-Repeat:
echo "nameserver 3ffe:8210:f000::!" > /etc/resolv.conf
host www.netbsd.org
>Fix:
Import bind9 into main source tree ?
Or import just host utility ?
