I have SLAPD running on eth0 on both IPv6 and IPv4 and on localhost. I see
a connection comming in but SLAPD can't make out from what IP adres the
connection is comming and after saying unknown host, it just drops the
connection. IPTables is not filtering anything on this system, it's a host
behind my firewallhost.
