fix for systems that configure an (unused) ipv6 address by default
Last modified: 2011-07-13 08:15:58 UTC
Created attachment 188146 [details] [review] Adjust decision logic On OpenBSD configured interfaces have default IPv6 address, this would cause the code in netinfo_get_ip_version() to believe we should use the IPv6 version of various tools, like ping6 and traceroute6. While in reality many people leave the interfaces as is (don't remove the IPv6 address) and use the interface over IPv4. So the IPv6 tools wouldn't have a proper way out and fail, this was the default behaviour... Now the code defaults to checking if for AF_INET address family instead of the other way around (which would thus always return IPv6), so the right tools are used and there are no more "ping6: no route to host" messages on the console when you're actually sending out ipv4 traffic..
