Hello,

In my inetd.conf file, I have "tcp6" set in the entry for telnet and ftp.
However, when I connect to the machine, the syslog logs 0.0.0.0 as the
connecting IP. When I change the inetd.conf entry to "tcp"... I am unable to
connect to the system. It says "connection refused". Any ideas why this is
happening? Thanks.

This shouldn't happen. Are you using non-IPv6 aware tcpd with that
service?

I am using tcp wrappers. I am not sure which type. Maybe I should remove
them and see what happens.

The Solaris in.telnetd doesn't use syslog, so you're doing something
you left out of your description. TCP wrappers, right?

You MUST use "tcp6" on Solaris 8 or higher, and you must use a version
of TCP wrappers that support IPv6, as the Solaris FAQ indicates.

I am using tcp wrappers 7.6. What is the latest version, and where can I
download binaries for it?

The google.com search site says the localtion of the Solaris FAQ is:
