Telnet -s localhost 4321 not working

[Horimoto.Yuji]

All,

I am currently setting up an Rwhois Server on a FreeBSD 5.3 box.  At one point, I was successful in implementing the server. After moving the server and  running the daemon to test the server again, I receive the following message:

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I did a netstat -ta and see that rwhois is listening for connections but it shows as tcp6.  I tried a ./configure --disable-ipv6 but does not work.  Any ideas on how to get my box running?

Best Regards,
Yuji
