Many userland network utilities do not work correctly with IPv6.

  • rpc.statd(8) is not IPv6 clean.

  • quota(8) is not IPv6 clean.
    • +
  • who(1) truncates IPv6 addresses in its output.

This project could also include a broader survey of other network +services in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin to make sure they're all IPv6 +clean.
