[Freeipa-users] Replica creation problem - IPv6?

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a FreeIPA replica on a new Fedora 16 VM.
The process fails when ipa-replica-install starts checking for 
connectivity from the master server side towards the new replica.

    # ipa-replica-install -N
    /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-ldaps01.example.com.gpg
    [... lines of output ...]
    Execute check on remote master

    Remote master check failed with following error message(s):

    Connection check failed!
    Please fix your network settings according to error messages above.
    If the check results are not valid it can be skipped with
    --skip-conncheck parameter.


Running the connectivity check on its own from the server gives me the 
following output:

    Check connection from master to remote replica 'ldaps01.example.com':
        Directory Service: Unsecure port (389): FAILED
        Directory Service: Secure port (636): FAILED
        Kerberos KDC: TCP (88): FAILED
        Kerberos KDC: UDP (88): OK
        Kerberos Kpasswd: TCP (464): FAILED
        Kerberos Kpasswd: UDP (464): OK
        HTTP Server: Unsecure port (80): FAILED
        HTTP Server: Secure port (443): FAILED
    Port check failed! Inaccessible port(s): 389, 636, 88, 464, 80, 443


To actually see what's going on, I run 'netstat -tuan' to see what ports 
are open while ipa-replica-install waits for me to type my admin 
password (just before the remote master check):

    [root at ldaps01 ~]# netstat -tuan

    udp        0      0 :::123                      :::*

It seems that the replica procedure automatically binds to IPv6 
addresses (although I've disabled IPv6 on eth0 and on loopback, remove 
IPv6 entries from /etc/hosts and /etc/resolve.conf).

NTP listens on both ipv4 and ipv6 locahost but that's because I choose 
to handle it a separate service on its own.

FreeIPA server is 2.1.4-5 on both ldap (master) and ldaps01 (slave).

Regards,
Dimitris
