Re: Facter 4 outputs networking facts differently on AIX

In the IPv6 short notation `::` represents unspecified and `::1` represents loopback ip.
We've encountered this bug in Facter3 when implementing FACT-2878

This output is consistent with the other resolvers implemented for MacOs an Linux.
For Solaris we've created FACT-2981 to address the inconsistency.

Re: Facter 4 outputs networking facts differently on AIX

Since AIX users will see this as a difference when running puppet facts diff, can we add this to as a known issue? Claire Cadman

Are there plans to fix Facter 3.x so the difference goes away?
