Telnet Client Red Hat 7.2 IPv6 enabled ??

[Flavio Villanustre]

You're absolutely right. My fault and probably Thomas' problem too.

There is a package on RedHat 7.2 called krb5-workstation-1.2.2-13 that 
includes an IPv4 only telnet client installed under 
/usr/kerberos/bin/telnet and $PATH is:

/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:

so, Thomas, just run /usr/bin/telnet or remove krb5-workstation-1.2.2-13 
package and you'll have an IPv6 capable telnet on-board

Thanks and regards,

Flavio.
