ftp services with ipv6 on Sid



Ok, IPv6 is turned up on the lan. Here are the entries which I think 
matter in the firewall rules:

# eth1 is connected to a private subnet.
INSIDE=eth1
PRIVATE=2001:470:1f00:1683::/64
# Accept the local LAN
ip6tables -A FORWARD -i $INSIDE -s $PRIVATE -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -i $INSIDE -s $PRIVATE -j ACCEPT

and in the /etc/hosts file:

2001:470:1F00:1683::1   server6

I confirmed that the address on my laptop is definitely in the same 
network, and "ssh server6" works perfectly and reports "Last login: 
Thu Nov 10 14:59:25 2005 from 2001:470:1f00:1683:202:8aff:fe94:4801".

The problem is that ftp on the server doesn't respond when I try to 
use the ipv6 address, by address or name. 

If I ftp on the command line to ftp.nerim.net, the following entry 
shows up under netstat -a:

tcp6 0 0 2001:470:1f00:168:50090 shando.ipv6.nerim.n:ftp ESTABLISHED

But if I try to connect to my own server6,

$ ftp server6
ftp: server6: Unknown host
ftp>                      

I'm running the wu-ftpd package, and have been unable to find any 
indication in the configuration files about whether or not it's v6 
aware. I guess that shouldn't actually matter, right?

ftp server (192.168.1.1) works just fine, so the service is there.

Any suggested tests to see what's broken?
