IPV6 default?

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Peter,
It doesn't default to a particular address type, it works off the first
answer it gets from the result of getaddrinfo().  I can try to go  
through
the complete list and pick ipv4 first, I suppose, but seems like a lot
of work to fix tcp_wrappers ;o)

So argus should have put down a ipv4 and an ipv6, and the client
picks which protocol to use, and all of that should work fine, but are
you connecting to "localhost"?  That maybe where you're picking up
the IPv6 possibility?
