Hello.

I have discovered that the current default configuration of inetd set by approx 
makes it only support IPv4, not IPv6.

Only this line existed in my openbsd-inetd config file (don't remember if 
that's the default port or I changed it):

  9998    stream  tcp     nowait  approx  /usr/sbin/approx

To add IPv6 support, it was enough to also add another line to inetd.conf:

  9998    stream  tcp6     nowait  approx  /usr/sbin/approx

Both lines can (and must) be present in the file, if both IPv6 and IPv4 support 
is desired.
