Now that I've gone back and re-read my comments I see that I didn't mention it, but I was also thinking that new argument would be appropriate. Since an IPv6 address is accepted as the trap destination AND there's argument that lets you pass in a readable IPv4 address argument it seems like an ommision that there's not an argument that lets you pass in a readable IPv6 address argument. I'd be happy to help you test the patch. :-) I'm running Linux 5.5.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
