Why doesn't the ssh daemon listen on the IPv6 address after system boot?
Issue
- I have a sshd configuration to listen on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for access from remote.
- But, it doesn't listen on the IPv6 address after system boot. It listen on the IPv4 address only.
- If I restart sshd daemon after boot, it can listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
- Why doesn't it work only after system boot.
