No IPv6?Re: IPv6 with vncserver in Centos 5.2

[Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems that the free VNCserver included with RHEL5/Centos 5 does NOT 
support option intransport.  Thus no IPv6.

Interestingly, vncviewer is attempting to connect (TCP SYNs) over IPv6 
and getting reset because nothing is listening on that port on IPv6 on 
my server.
