Netgroup support of ipv6 in Solaris/Linux

[Matthew Huff]

I haven't worked on the Linux boxes yet, but since I found the source of problem on the Solaris box and it was an understandable fix, I now know it isn't a fundamental ipv6 incompatibility. I'll do some tcpdumps on Linux as well and I figure it is something similar.
