The IPV6 code is enabled by uncommenting

IPV6 = -DHAVE_IPV6

Check your system specific make line for the entry IPV6="$(IPV6)"; it has not
been added to most yet.

The code was tested on Solaris 8 Beta.  A single tcpd binary supports
IPV6 and IPV4 sockets as well as TLI (v4/v6).

The code successfully compiles on Solaris 7 + playground.sun.com IPV6 patch,
but I have not tested the binary.

The code also compiles on AIX using "-DHAVE_IPV6 -DUSE_GETHOSTBYNAME2"

The KILL_IPOPTIONS option doesn't work.  (Something to do with IPV4 addresses
mapped inside IPV6 sockets)

The code extends the hosts.{allow,deny} syntax in a minor way.  You can
now specify IPV6 address, like this:

# Ipv6 numeric address
		someservice: [x:x:x::x]
		# Ipv6 network
		otherservice: [x:x:x::x/prefix]

Note that the "[" and "]" are part of the syntax; no whitespace is allowed
inside the [].

The datastructures have been modified such that we hope that
libwrap binary compatibility is maintained.

The original tcp_wrappers-7.6 files have been renamed and have a .org
extension; only this file (README.ipv6) was added.
