To add some more info, IPv6 ping6 doesn't work.

This is on Debian Etch linux 2.6.20 - can anyone tell me what controls the 
config for IPv6 here?

adam at isengard:~$ sudo ping6  ::1
Password:
PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

I also found this while searching:

http://storybridge.org/wordpress/2007/06/20/dnsmasq-does-not-like-ipv6/

which sounds useful but I'm not sure why it would work or where it should go.
