Hi everyone,

Just as mentioned in [1], rpc.statd is not ipv6 clean.

Although I have been through the code, and didn't found any issues until
now. The code conditionally checks for ipv6/ipv4 everywhere and uses ipv6
compatible functions.

As per one old commit [2], seems rpc.statd was already made to function
correctly with ipv6.

I searched bugzilla(thinking someone may have reported something similar,
giving rise to the project), but didn't see anything similar for rpc.statd
and ipv6 support.

I wanted to ask if someone could share the issues they encountered while
using rpc.statd with ipv6?
