IPv6 on cappadocicum
Hi Peter. During the dev meeting Jake and other authority operators asked for a DocTor check for the reachability of their IPv6 ORPort. Presently five authorities have an IPv6 address and five don't. ``` tor26 => 2001:858:2:2:aabb:0:563b:1526 gabelmoo => 2001:638:a000:4140::ffff:189 longclaw => 2620:13:4000:8000:60:f3ff:fea1:7cff maatuska => 2001:67c:289c::9 urras => has an ipv6 address, but authority is currently down moria1 => no ipv6 address dizum => no ipv6 address Tonga => no ipv6 address dannenberg => no ipv6 address Faravahar => no ipv6 address ``` This is all well and good, and I [started writing a DocTor check](https://gitweb.torproject.org/doctor.git/commit/?id=a50f3e0ad51b82f9523963bce19aab883f310a96), but I'm green to IPv6 and running into an issue on cappadocicum... ``` % ping6 2001:858:2:2:aabb:0:563b:1526 connect: Network is unreachable % test -f /proc/net/if_inet6 && echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready" Running kernel is IPv6 ready % lsmod | grep -w 'ipv6' | wc -l 0 ``` No doubt something simple. Most Debian tips such as a [6to4 config](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6#IPv6_6to4_Configuration) look to require elevated permissions. If this is something I can/should sort out myself then tips welcome. :)
