[ale] IPv6

[Robert L. Harris]

There's a "ip6tables" which needs the different addresses if you have
IP's in your system (I do), but otherwise it works just great.  I have
"IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables" in my firewall script so I just duplicated the
script and changed it to ip6tables and did a start.  "ip6tables -L"
shows all the rules without the numeric IP's (It complained about
inserting them obviously)...

Now to get apache working...  Hope I don't have to all out recompile.



Thus spake Dow Hurst (dhurst at kennesaw.edu):
