Hello everyone.. I need some help in understanding the usage of tcp46 socket and xinetd.d flags..
What I'm trying to do?
I'm looking to use tenet via tcp46 socket for both ipv4 and ipv6 traffic. For this, if i set flags = IPV6 xinetd.d, telnet service, i can not telnet via V4. If I unset the flags, I can only use V4 address.
Looking into how the "xinetd" understands the flags, it looks like when flags are set IPV4, we are limited to use IPV4 to use the service. Similar is the case if we set flags to IPv6. Is this true? Please correct me if my understanding is not right here.
My question: When we want to use single socket to both use v4 and v6 address, like tcp46, should we have to enable "ipv4mappedipv6" address in the system, so that even if we set xinetd's Flag to "IPV6", we can still use them? Does this sound right?
Or is there a better way to allow both v4 and v6 traffic?
Thanks for your inputs.
