Hi,

on a sarge machine the following entry causes problems:

service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
instances = 100
per_source = 10
}

This way, only IPv4 is available which is fine.

To enable IPv6 the manpage suggests to use the flags variable
and use "any combination of IPv4, IPv6 and other arguments".

However

flags = IPv4 IPv6

will only expose IPv4 and no IPv6 although it's a combination of
both arguments.

Instead

flags = IPv6

will expose the FTP service to both services.

This is a sarge box, so the behaviour might have changed for etch, but
since I don't have an etch or sid box with IPv6 enabled I cannot check
this. I'd be glad if you could check whether this behaviour is still
the same and eventually file a bug report if the behaviour doesn't
match the documentation.

Thanks a lot,

Joey
