vnc4server on debian

Hello,
Lately installed vnc4server on debian, however it listens only to ipv6,
how is it possible to force vnc4server to listen both ipv4 and ipv6 ?

the cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only returns 0

debian stable 6.0.1

thanks.

Maybe look in the vncserver perl script, and see what options are being set, and why.

Thanks, really helped,
The problem was that uname -n returns 127.0.1.1 bind hostname, and when I added entry in my /etc/hosts with same hostname to real ipv4, then it worked.

However, Interesting thing is that still only tcp6 listen...
$ netstat -an | grep 5901
tcp6 0 0 :::5901 :::* LISTEN

And established connection is also ipv6
tcp6 0 0 192.168.10.1:5901 192.168.10.100:17823 ESTABLISHED
