Thanks for your help.

I'm sure my xinetd is ipv6-enabled, because I can see other services
under xinetd
(e.g. daytime) could run in IPv6.

----
# netstat -a -A inet6
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 *:daytime               *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:ssh                   *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 ::1%570433576:daytime   ::1%2147473928:2086     TIME_WAIT

So exactly as you said, I think the cause is just the configuration of xinetd.
In recent xinetd, we can make a service ipv6-enable, with adding
"flags = IPv6" in the service entry
of xinetd.conf.
But I must use a little old xinetd-2.3.3 and it doesn't have IPv6 flags.

So could you tell me how can I make a service under xinetd-2.3.3 ipv6-enable,
if anyone knows?

Thanks

Tadashi

Depends on the distribution how this >stuff is set up, but normally
