Hi,

should SocketAddress byName: (SocketAddress loopbackHost) equal to
SocketAddress loopbackHost? On my Fedora system my hostname is turning up
multiple names in the /etc/hosts (see below) file. The resolving of the name
'bla' ends up with an IPv6 address. I am not sure I added this entry or if the
fedora setup did and how to handle this. Is IPv6 support 'opaque' in the
Smalltalk Socket classes?


192.168.0.181 bla #Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 bla localhost6.localdomain localhost6
