Package: oidentd
Version: 2.0.8-1.2

The oidentd man page states, in the description for the "-a" option,
that "The default is to listen for connections on all configured IP
addresses" -- but the program actually only listens on IPv4 addresses
by default.  I had to set
  OIDENT_OPTIONS="-a ::"
in /etc/default/oidentd to get it to listen on all addresses.

Ideally the program would be changed to match the documented behaviour;
otherwise, the man page should be updated.
