[erlang-bugs] R13B04: ssh:connect to an IPv6 address doesn't work

[Niclas Eklund]

Hello!

I've updated the internal function as follows:

inetopt(true) ->
     inet;
inetopt(false) ->
     inet6.

The configuration parameter ip_v6_disabled is also documented now. As 
soon as this has been pushed to github, you can access this via the 
dev-branch. The correct usage will be:

erl> ssh:connect("::1", 22, [{ip_v6_disabled, false}]).

/Niclas @ Erlang/OTP
