Disable setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY)












1















I love mapped addresses, and some bad software (lighttpd) believes I'm wrong - in fact, the only config key they let me change is whether or not it'll call setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY, true). disabling that config doesn't explicitly set IPV6_V6ONLY to false.



To make everyone happy, I'd like to disable the program's ability to setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY), while keeping /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only as 0.



Is there any way to do this in plain old linux?

          Since most programs make such calls through libc, use $LD_PRELOAD to intercept them:




          1. Write a shared library (a .so file) that provides your own implementation of setsockopt().



          2. In your implementation, you can check the parameters and call the original function, or don't. (Use dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, …) to get a pointer to the "original" function so that you can call it.)



            int frob(const char *path) {
            static int (*real_frob)(const char *);
            if (!real_frob)
            real_frob = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "frob");
            return real_frob(path);
            }


          3. After compiling the .c file into a .so, set the $LD_PRELOAD environment variable for the daemon to your new library's path.
