Bug Description

The tomcat7 startup script sets java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true if authbind is activated. Ubuntu 12.10 does however include authbind 2, which supports IPv6. Consequently the parameter should not be set anymore. Once I uncommented that line tomcat7 worked just fine via IPv6 and authbind.

regards,
Hendrik

So are you suggesting to remove line 152 from init script?
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

this has been committed on git [1], should appear on the next release, anyway I don't want to ship a new release just for two bugs, I prefer to wait for the next major release if nobody complains
