Hi,
I'm trying to set up a 6in4 tunnel using AICCU on a VPS host. When I restart aiccu, I get the following output:
gavinmc@vps-1076912-1460:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/aiccu restart
Restarting SixXS Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Client Utility (aiccu)...Tunnel Information for T36285:

IPv6 Remote : 2001:770:100:166::1/64
Tunnel Type : 6in4-static
Adminstate : enabled
Userstate : enabled
The verbose output is:

(END)
When I run it with daemonize or the init script from the command line, I get a little more info:

Is there an obvious cause for this?

No kernel support is one. Do you have the 'ipv6 and 'sit' module loaded?
Note that a lot of VPS's don't allow those kind of things, you'll have to ask them for it, but better, ask them to get native IPv6 for you....
