I had a yell of a time getting all the dependencies met when I built 
this 5.2 system.

I would love to do this. Right now you have to run HIPL in userspace, 
because of the ipsec BEET mode issue. I need to find time to get the 
patch to the 2.6.18 kernel working, and then to keep it current...

gFTP has an option to use scp (or whatever the file transfer over SSH is 
called). It works just fine over IPv4 as a nice GUI tool to an SSHD. But 
it just crashes when you run it over IPv6. I would really like to have a 
GUI for SSH file transfers over IPv6.

Count me in. I have LOTS that is not working. Also such joys as ignoring 
TTLs and keeping dns resolutions cached (which kills testing native IPv6 
to the app over HIP).

One thing I am working with is a 'test' IPv6 dns domain. I now have the 
pieces to bring up a copy of BIND on a system that will be a caching 
server for the test system and provide a .test TLD for working out 
IPv6ish challenges.

I build new RPMs fairly regularly (the HIPL project uses TLA for getting 
the source). Right now I have them on my local repo.
