Autoconnect + ziplinks

[greg27]

Hi all

I have two leaf servers which for some reason will not autoconnect to my hub server when ziplinks is enabled. Autoconnect is enabled only on the leaves (not the hub) and ziplinks is enabled at both ends (as it should be). If I disable ziplinks on both ends, autoconnect works properly. If ziplinks is enabled, the leaves will not make any attempt to reconnect to the hub when split.

Another problem which happens regardless of whether ziplinks is enabled is that I cannot /connect from the hub side, only from the leaf side.

This is what happens when I try to /connect from the hub (server names and IPs changed):

Code: Select all

 —hub.centralchat.net— Connect to host leaf.centralchat.net[::ffff:1.1.1.1] failed: Invalid argument
 —hub.centralchat.net— *** Couldn't connect to leaf.centralchat.net.

/connect'ing from leaf.centralchat.net, however, works properly.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Are all your servers running the current version (3.2.8.1)?

Sorry, forgot to mention- all servers are 3.2.8

Sounds like this bug

A possible workaround would be to disable IPv6, but that might not be an option for you.
Another option (best option, IMO) is: the patch from here... apply with patch -p1 etc.. and recompile.
A 3rd option would be to use the CVS version, but I wouldn't recommend that on a live server, as it contains quite some untested stuff at the moment.

Cheers Syzop, looks as though that patch has solved the problem
