Re: Last Call on draft-ietf-v6ops-security-overview-02.txt

[Elwyn Davies <elwynd@dial.pipex.com>]

Today is the last day of the wg last call for this document (assuming we 
actually count forwards ;-) ).

I have not seen any comments during the last call, but my own scan of 
the document has revealed a few nits and I have added an improved 
example in section 4.3.

The changes I am proposing are:

Changes:
02 -> 03
Several instances of 'unrecognized' appear to have vanished (probably 
while changing them from
unrecognised in the previous edit.
s2.1.4: s/an  /an unrecognized / (2 instances in next to last para)
s2.1.8.3: s/items  /items unrecognized /
s2.1.6: 2nd para: s/to for any future/for any future/
s2.2: last sentence s/and/ and/
s4.1: last sentence: s/in practice, not much used as a consequence/as a 
consequence, not much used in practice./
s4.3: added additional example of DHCP servers for guessable addresses - 
updated text is...

  Because the unmemorability of complete IPv6 addresses there is a
  temptation for administrators to use small integers as interface
  identifiers when manually configuring them, as might happen on point-
  to-point links or when provisioning complete addresses from a DHCPv6
  server.  Such allocations make it easy for an attacker to find active
  nodes that they can then port scan.


s4.5:s/in might/it might/

I have a new version ready to go unless there are any last minute comments.
