This is IPv6, Internet Protocol verion 6. The next generation protocol
for the Internet, current is IPv4. Look at http://www.kame.net/
Don't care about it if you don't know about it. ;-)

All unencrypted services like ftp and telnet are disabled in
/etc/inetd.conf for security reasons. If you want them, uncoment the
aprporiate line in /etc/inetd.conf and HUP inetd:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
I see you already found out how to enable sshd... :-)
You know that you have to member of the group "wheel" to be allowed to
su(1) to "root".

I don't know about binary packages, I always compile the stuff myself

too. 1.5.2 is still the latest official release, but 1.6 is close to be
released. Maybe you should read:
