In the installation that I have (I did no configuration changes), IPv6
is indeed disabled:

$ ping ::1
ping: ::1: Address family for hostname not supported.

But it does not indicate that tftp, syslogd, and telnet don't work.
Therefore I would find it better if the respective tests were marked
as "SKIP", not "FAIL".
