Hi, I have a machine that can't start cmsd/xrootd on the IPv4 interface and prefers IPv6-only: [root@cms-xrd-global01 ~]# netstat -plunta | grep "xrootd\|cmsd" tcp6 0 0 :::1094 :::* LISTEN 21496/xrootd tcp6 0 0 :::1098 :::* LISTEN 21497/cmsd tcp6 0 0 :::2094 :::* LISTEN 18113/xrootd tcp6 0 0 2001:1458:201:e5::45532 2001:1458:301:69:::1098 ESTABLISHED 21496/xrootd tcp6 0 0 2001:1458:201:e5::45994 2001:1458:201:a4:::1098 ESTABLISHED 21496/xrootd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:40819 0.0.0.0:* 21496/xrootd ifconfig looks normal to me: [root@cms-xrd-global01 ~]# ifconfig eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 188.184.29.87 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 188.184.29.255 inet6 fe80::16:3eff:fe01:805e prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> inet6 2001:1458:201:e5::100:49 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x0<global> ether 02:16:3e:01:80:5e txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 131401700 bytes 11719643914 (10.9 GiB) RX errors 0 dropped 17 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1222209 bytes 1214320471 (1.1 GiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 The other, supposedly identical, host starts on both interfaces, IPv4 and IPv6: [root@cms-xrd-global02 ~]# netstat -plunta | grep "xrootd\|cmsd" tcp 0 0 188.184.30.79:50006 188.184.161.66:1098 ESTABLISHED 1367/xrootd tcp 0 0 188.184.30.79:34626 188.184.67.41:1098 ESTABLISHED 1367/xrootd tcp6 0 0 :::1094 :::* LISTEN 1367/xrootd tcp6 0 0 :::1098 :::* LISTEN 1364/cmsd tcp6 0 0 :::2094 :::* LISTEN 1370/xrootd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:60460 0.0.0.0:* 1364/cmsd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:57015 0.0.0.0:* 1367/xrootd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:59700 0.0.0.0:* 1367/xrootd udp6 0 0 :::33509 :::* 1364/cmsd udp6 0 0 :::50038 :::* 1367/xrootd Both machines use xrootd version 4.11.2.
