[Bug 538871] Re: authbind fail on IPv6

[BJB]

Looking at the code :
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ijackson/cvsweb/authbind/libauthbind.c?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain

For the bind overriden method you got a section like :

  if (addr->sa_family != AF_INET || addrlen != sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) ||
      !geteuid() || ((struct sockaddr_in*)addr)->sin_port == 0 ||
      ntohs(((struct sockaddr_in*)addr)->sin_port) >= IPPORT_RESERVED/2)
    return old_bind(fd,addr,addrlen);

The problem is that it will never use the authbind method, hence will
not work with INET6.
