What is the expected behavior wrt ipv6 on Linux?  My brother is trying to
use sshd to bind to things and without '-6' on the commandline, it doesn't
do any ipv6, even if 'ListenAddress ::' is listed in sshd_config.  Also,
with '-6', it receives ipv4 requests as well.

This behavior is definately different from OpenBSD .. all addresses listed
in sshd_config are used, and with none listed, it defaults to
'0.0.0.0' and '::' .. the '-6' limits connections to ipv6 only.

Thanks,
