I really don't have any idea what SUN is or is not doing,
and sure it *might* be possible to simply turn IPv6 in the
glibc RPC code but its been stated very clearly that will
not happen because the glibc people no longer want to
support that code... They have and will continue to
resit any and all changes...
So all I'm trying to is instead of beating our heads against
the glibc wall, I simply trying to go around it with an
alternative solution and the libtirpc library seems like
it would be a good alternative...
Are there any other alternatives out there???
