inet6 Applications, Release 0.08
================================

Introduction
============

  This is a kit of IPv6-aware applications designed to replace many of the
basic networking programs that come with your system. Most of these support
IPv4, IPv6, and UNIX domain sockets. All of the software here is copyrighted
but free. See doc/README.Copyrights for more details.

  The current version of this kit is intended primarily, but not exclusively,
for the recent versions of Linux with IPv6 support. It should build without
too much difficulty on systems running the NRL IPv6+IPsec code. It should
build with some work on other systems that conform to the IPv6 basic and
advanced APIs as interpreted and implemented in the Linux and NRL code bases.
Parts of this kit are unlikely to work on systems that don't implement this
API.

Contents
========

  This kit contains:

  finger				finger client
  fingerd				finger server
  ftp					ftp client
  ftpd					ftp server
  inetd					Internet super-server daemon
  libpcap-0.3.1a2			packet capture library
  man					general info in man page form
  misc/gendata				very simple test pattern generator
  misc/socktest				socket client/server
  ping					echo diagnostic
  support				IPv6 support library
  support/gai				getaddrinfo test program
  tcpdump-3.3.1a2			packet capture/display program
  telnet.95.10.23.NE/telnet		telnet client
  telnet.95.10.23.NE/telnetd		telnet server
  tftp					tftp client
  tftpd					tftp server
  traceroute-1.4a4			routing diagnostic
  wrapper/wrapper			simple address filter program
  wrapper/addrform			simple socket up/downgrade program

  You will also need netstat, route, and ifconfig for your system. Linux users
  should obtain these from the latest net-tools package.

Building from source
====================

  The build procedure REQUIRES GNU make. Other make utilities WILL NOT WORK.

  Edit the file 'GNUmakefile.config' and make any adjustments you need to,
then run 'make'. Hopefully, it will build and install without any problems.

If you have problems
====================

  If you are using Linux, send problem reports to the netdev mailing list:

	netdev@roxanne.nuclecu.unam.mx

  If you are using the NRL IPv6+IPsec distribution, send problem reports to
  the (NRL) ipv6-users mailing list:

	ipv6-users@itd.nrl.navy.mil

  If you are using some other system, I'm afraid that you are on your own for
now.

More documentation!
===================

  See the doc directory and the program subdirectories for more documentation
on this kit and its components.
