Hi
 
While running tests on Ipv6 machines using the 10.3 jars with the 
default security manager, I had the following findings/questions
I started the server like this java 
org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start -h 
2002:92a:8f7a:13:9:42:74:19

Thanks for test-driving this on ipv6. The machines handy to me are all 
ipv4 so I can't reproduce your experiment yet. However, it seems to me 
that, given your command line, the default policy file is going to grant 
derbynet.jar accept permission on localhost:*. On an ipv6 machine this 
may not be a legal address. 

Why given the host name of '2002:92a:8f7a:13:9:42:74:19' is the policy 
file being set up to use 'localhost'? If the -h had been a hostname or 
its ip(4) address then I wouldn't expect the policy file to use 
'localhost' because as I understand it such a hostname means it will 
accept remote connections.
