How would I verify that the (x)inetd file is pointing to a tcp6 service?
Here again is the current xinetd file:

/etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd:
	service ftp
	{
      	  socket_type     = stream
      	  wait            = no
      	  user            = root
      	  server          = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
      	  server_args     = -d -l -a
      	  log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
      	  log_on_failure          += USERID
      	  nice            = 10
	}

And as you can see the server_args is using the -a switch. Should I have
the server_args contain the command as well? For example:

	server_args     = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -d -l -a
