Michael,

I'm completely ignorant when it comes to IPv6 and how it compares with
IPv4.  I wasn't aware that IPv6 was unscanable, for instance.  Do you
have any pointers to more information?  Specifically, HOWTOs for setting
up IPv6 on a typical linux server and why I would want to.  I'm also
particularly interested in how you've setup ssh on IPv6 only, and the
implications of that.

Many thanks,
Jason
