I have set up two Host connected using IPv6, both are identical:
1. RedHat Linux 7.1
2. Kernel 2.4.2 (IPv6 enabled) (non USAGI)
3. glibc 2.2.2-10
4. and all the other stuff necesary (all from Bieringer's IPv6 HOWTO)
I've tested ping6,telnet,ftp,http,.. using loopback address, when I want
connect both I use link local addresses, and here comes the problem: connect
returns me an Invalid argument error, I know this error is caused by the
ausence of sin6_scope_id field and that the solution for ping6 is to
indicate which device I want to use, but the other application like
telnet,ftp,... dont't support this, how can solve this?
I've tried set up site local address but that don`t work (I think it is
because IPv6 don't support the ARP as IPv4 because it is supposed to be
included in the link local address)
Could anyboby help me with that, would an USAGI-kernel solve this? Another
cuestion is that if I decide to use an USAGI-kernel will be it compatible
with all the other libs(glibc and others) and applications that support
IPv6?
