Sorry for not replying to this earlier - I saw the Oct 12 post and thought about it but didn't actually reply before getting distracted :-( I think this patch is unnecessary and hence not wanted. The getfs / getfs calls should be considered legacy calls. Adding functionality to them is not appropriate. IPv6 addresses should be handled only via the /proc/net/rpc/auth.unix.ip interface. Thanks, NeilBrown
