Description of problem:
I don't know why but ncftp cannot connect to some sites.  I don't know what
differentiates them

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ncftpls ftp://nl.linux.org
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Could not get a socket: Address family not supported by protocol.
ncftpls: cannot open nl.linux.org: could not get a new stream socket.


Expected Results:  Listing of the FTP server.

Additional info:

The name lookup inside is most probably (ok, definitely) using getaddrinfo. On
servers which have IPv6 addresses they will be reported back first if the caller
is interested in either.  If now the ipv6 kernel module is not loaded the socket
calls will fail:


socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)        = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)        = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)        = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not su


ncftp should not fail in this case unless there is no IPv4 address at all
returned.  This is not the case for nl.linux.org.
