inet6 Applications, Release 0.04
================================

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

  This is a kit of IPv6-aware applications intended primarily, but not
exclusively, for Linux with the IPv6 net-patches. All of the software here is
copyrighted (see doc/README.Copyrights for more details) but free.

  Many of these programs (all for now) are derived from the NRL IPv6+IPsec
Alpha 4 release. This kit does NOT contain programs from the NRL release that
don't build and run under Linux.

Contents
========

  This kit contains:

  finger				finger client
  fingerd				finger server
  ftp					ftp client
  ftpd					ftp server
  inetd					Internet super-server daemon
  libpcap-0.2.1				packet capture library
  man					general info in man page form
  misc/gendata				very simple test pattern generator
  misc/socktest				socket client/server
  support				IPv6 support library
  support/gai				getaddrinfo test program
  tcpdump-3.2.1				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

  Missing versus the NRL kit are: ping netstat route ifconfig traceroute

  Linux users should obtain netstat, route, and ifconfig from the net tools
    package.

  Versions of ping and traceroute are coming soon.

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

  The build procedure REQUIRES GNU make. Other make utilities WILL NOT WORK.
Note that this is not the same as the previous versions of this kit or the NRL
kit, which require the 4.4BSD make program.

  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
====================

  For this release, I'm afraid that you are on your own. This is very much a
hackers' release; if you have trouble and can't figure it out for yourself,
wait for the next release.

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

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