The solaris FAQ says:

4.17) Where can I get an IPv6 capable version of tcp wrapper?

The IPv6 capable version of tcp wrapper is available at Wietse's
site in the /pub/ipv6 directory.
<ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/ipv6/>

Make sure you configure it with -DHAVE_IPV6.

Solaris 9 has this version of tcp wrappers bundled with the system.


5.85) Tcpd prints "connect (refused) from 0.0.0.0" in Solaris 8 and later?

The default inetd configuration in Solaris 8 and later have changed
the service type for most services from tcp/udp to tcp6/udp6.

You'll either need to change them back to tcp/udp or better, upgrade
your tcp wrappers to an IPv6 capable version as described in 4.17.
