Hi,

getnameinfo on Solaris 10 is return 'address family not supported', if I
setup a socket for IPv4/6 (AF_UNSPEC) and accept an incoming connection
and pass the accepted address on to getnameinfo. I don't have any
problem with this sequence on OpenSolaris independent of whether an IPv6
interface is configured or not.

Is there a known issue with getnameinfo related to IPv6?

What version of the OS are you runnnig? The version I"m having trouble
(see my post on Solaris 10 not liking IPv6 with RPC) is
SunOS syndrome 5.10 Generic_127111-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

All the other machines are working and are...
SunOS ipv61 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

I suppose the hardward difference could affect it but I'm wondering if
I should ask IT to update the OS on syndrome and see if its an OS
version issue.
