In /etc/modutils/ipv6 I have:

  alias net-pf-10 off

and I don't get that message for hprop, but I do get a similar one
from slapd for some reason.

Wouldn't you expect that anyway for db files which probably haven't
had records added identically?  If you look at a sorted dump of the
databases, the records actually differ (only) in the `generation
number' (end of the line), not that I know what that is.

It's OK for me with 0.6.3-4 but on sparc with basically woody systems
plus whatever the testing heimdal-kdc package depends on.

The message about looping does look vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure
whether I saw I from hprop at some time or something else.

Perhaps you could try iprop.  I don't remember why I don't have that
running, though I currently don't have a big database.
