only listening on IPv6, not IPv4

[xxdesmus]

not sure why I'm cursed, but telnetlogger only listens on IPv6 for me -- not IPv4

 netstat -tuplanet | grep telnetlogger
 tcp6       0      0 :::23                   :::*                    LISTEN      0          213829180   18990/telnetlogger

any ideas why this might be? The server is v4 and v6 capable.

I'd rather NOT have ipv6 enabled for this type of project. Having same error and issue, after removing/disabling IPV6

The IPv6 "any" socket only shows as IPv6 on netstat, but answers both.
I have the same netstat output, but it answers IPv4 perfectly. What happens when you try to connect with the IPv4 address?
