Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-6056:
-------------------------------------

I didn't test on a VM, but I did edit the code to point to /sbin/sdfjsidjfs to 
see what happens. It gets happily ignored - the 2>/dev/null hides the error 
output.

> Use java.net.preferIPv4Stack to force IPv4

> This was mentioned on HADOOP-3427, there is a property,  
> java.net.preferIPv4Stack, which you set to true for the java net process to 
> switch to IPv4 everywhere. 
> As Hadoop doesn't work on IPv6, this should be set to true in the startup 
> scripts. Hopefully this will ensure that Jetty will also pick it up.
