[TxMt] Re: rmate stopped working with alpha.9459

[Brian Powell]

Allan,

I solved the problem. In my Mac-side SSH configuration (OS X 10.8.4), I had

  AddressFamily inet

listed in my .ssh/config. This limits ssh connections to using IPv4. If I disable that, then it works fine. For some reason the change to allowing IPv6 in TextMate in conjunction with the above openssh option fails. Disabling the AddressFamily line makes it work. 

Related, I had "disabled" IPv6 on my Mac networking by setting it to "local link-only". It still works with that, but I get an error message on the server side from rmate:

setsockopt TCP_NODELAY: Invalid argument

This error goes away by changing IPv6 to "Automatic" in the Mac network settings.

So, it appears that the change to allowing for IPv6 actually requires it to be present.

Cheers,
Brian
