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... >> Along the way, I am finding ALL sorts of challenges. Particularly since >> I am sticking to IPv6.

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. >> So I am having 'fun' here. Too much cruft to plow through.

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. >> First I ask to see if anyone else knows about what is available.

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