Yes, the version of Linux that binkD was compiled on is not
mainstream: Puppy 4.12. Even the node's chosen version is most
unusual: a special multi-user version of Puppy 4.2.1. Both puppies
are running the same version level of
Linux: 2.6.25.16.
I have checked the FAQ and searched through this echo (of 4000 posts)
for traces of the earlier error message, but I cannot find any mention
of it. The only clue to me, on thinking quietly about it, is that the last compiled binary did _not_ mention IPv6 capability.
It does look as though I'll be stuck with version 1.0a-551 for a
while. :) Does anyone else recall similar difficulties or have any thoughts?
Linux: 2.6.25.16.
I couldn't even tell you if your kernel supports IPv6, as that's fairly old now. Kernel versions are up in the 4.5.x.x range now.

Did you try compiling the latest binkd sources without IPv6 support?
to do with IPv6 directly, you will probably either have to use a version of binkd without IPv6 support, or upgrade your puppies. :)

Quite old, for sure. My bad. I'm just flogging a dev environment I
took great pains to build years back. I have a couple of USB boot
sticks with later Puppies, which is its usual user environment, but I wouldn't trust any of those to run Fido.

Honestly, I didn't even think of it. Thanks. I will try that after I have my daredevil suit re-pressed. ;)
Thank you kindly, Nick.

Are you talking about those specific USB boot sticks? Or newer versions
of Puppy Linux in general? I would think they're a lot more secure nowadays than they were back then?
I'm exhausted. Mmm... what was your question. Oh, later versions: they're all simplistic pimped, small, fast, GUI blowjobs for the
unwashed consumer masses. I'll try to keep an eye out for any other prospective multi-user Puppy.

I thought the whole idea of Puppy Linux was to keep things minimal?
Now they come with GUIs? Sigh..
