There is also a defaults/rc.conf switch, ipv6_ipv4mapping="NO", which ISTR sets this sysctl. Can you try putting ipv6_ipv4mapping="YES" into /etc/rc.conf and see if it works as well?

I'd rather like to patch kdm along the lines of the code-snippet Thiago posted in a comment of Bug 102497. There are sound reasons for disabling ipv4-mapped ipv6 adresses (also see my comment on Bug 102497), it wouldn't be good if we required kdm users to accept additional security risks.

I probably won't be able to look into it today however, it would be nice if somebody could try and come up with a working, tested patch for kdm which I could then commit.
