IPv6 Only - doesn't quite work... (breaks at LDAP)

[martin.marcher]

Ok so I have a brand new machine with debian Lenny (5.0.2) and downloaded ZCS Community Edition.

My Network config is this:

# ip a ls
1: lo:  mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:29:c1:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:65:80:a8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 2a01:198:483:0:5054:ff:fe65:80a8/64 scope global dynamic 
       valid_lft 2591800sec preferred_lft 604600sec
    inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe65:80a8/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
2a01:198:483:0:5054:ff:fe65:80a8 zimbra6.localdomain zimbra6

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

meaning I'm trying to get it running with only IPv6 connectivity. After installing the dependencies and starting the install.sh script it breaks at the LDAP step:

I have a feeling that slapd is choking on the v6 address as /var/log/syslog tells me:

Sep  9 16:10:08 zimbra6 slapd[16722]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.17 (Aug  2 2009 17:09:01) $#012#011root@build32.lab.zimbra.com:/home/build/p4/main/ThirdParty/openldap/openldap-2.4.17.8z/servers/slapd

Sep  9 16:10:48 zimbra6 slapd[16722]: connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

according to openldap 2.4 should be v6 capable

any hints?

To answer my own question:

# pgrep -lf slap
18393 /opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapd -l LOCAL0 -4 -u zimbra -h ldap://zimbra6.localdomain:389 ldapi:/// -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config

Why is slapd started with "-4" to make it listen on IPv4 only? Is there a reason for that?

EDIT: I'm asking this because I specifically do NOT want public IPv4 addresses
