    Just because I'm not using it at all. Does this mean that enabling
IPv6 in both Heimdal and kernel would make everything work fine? Right
now I have taken out the IPv6 support from the kernel, and it seems that
everything is working fine (except for SASL/OpenLDAP that's not offering
GSSAPI authentication, but that would go to another thread if I'm not
able to solve it)

    About activating IPv6 both in kernel and Heimdal, I found a thread
dated Jun 19 where Torsten Kurbad told that kadmind would bind only to
IPv6 addresses and that was causing problems too

    Thanks, best regards
