Summary:                    problem configuring IPv6 address with bacula-fd (and
-sd, -dir)
Description: 
As discussed here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/bac...@li.../msg46962.html

It doesn't seem possible to configure bacula-fd to listen on all IPv4 and IPv6
addresses.  

* If you don't specify an address, the daemon listens to tcp/9102 on 0.0.0.0
(all IPv4)
* If you specify an ipv4 of "0.0.0.0" and ipv6 of "::", bacula-fd listens on the
former, but not the latter and seems to crash after a time.
* You can apparently specify an ipv6 address, but then you must also specify an
ipv4 address which isn't always ideal.

This issue seems to also affect the -sd and -dir.


Steps to Reproduce: 
Put computer on an IPv6 network.  
Check you get an IPv6 address and restart bacula-fd.
Check netstat to see does it listen on port 9102 on the IPv6 address.


Additional Information: 
In spare moments I have been having a look at the source code but have not yet
managed to work much out that is significant.  I will try and keep at this but
if anyone has suggestions I'm happy to try them.  I appreciate not everyone is
in a position to test Ipv6 yet.

With no IPs configured explicitly, init_default_addresses() seems to call
add_addresses() twice, once with 0.0.0.0 and once with null.

Tested on 5.0.3 

if ipv6 address is set to ::1 it works (not usefull but works)

c-3po-fd: filed.c:275-0 filed: listening on port 9102
c-3po-fd: filed.c:275-0 filed: listening on port 9102
c-3po-fd: bnet_server.c:96-0 Addresses host[ipv4:0.0.0.0:9102]
host[ipv6:::1:9102] 

any try with a compressed format like :: result in error

but if ipv6 address is set not compressed like here

FileDaemon {                          # this is me
  Name = c-3po-fd
#  FDport = 9102                  # where we listen for the director
  FDAddresses  = {
    ipv4 = { addr = 0.0.0.0; port = 9102 }
    ipv6 = { addr = 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000; port = 9102 }
  }

  WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
  Pid Directory = /var/run
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}

the daemon start and seems to listen correctly

(I must wait tonight to see, if it really works with the ipv6 director)
