These patches provide IPv6 support for the tcpwrapper shim inside

I think the framework is reasonable, and only minor bug fixes might
be needed as we go along.
Did you do any simple "hello world" testing?
I've build-tested them. Jeff and I had them applied while doing the
statd testing. They don't appear to cause problems when no allow/
deny
sets exist.
I thought we would have more time to test and review these, so I
haven't
done more extensive testing so far. In any case, I don't think they
will be harmful, and can serve as a place marker for that feature
as the
beta moves forward.
Unfortunately I have broken these before and it was awful
painful... :-(
Right or wrong... there is still a large number of people that depend
on this archaic routines... we need to be very careful...
Do you have tests I can run to validate these patches to your
satisfaction?
