Getting depressed. (newbie question, probably...)

Hi Subversion Users !

I would be glad, if someone could give me some advice.
I have 2 boxes 1st MacOS X - client and 2nd FreeBSD 8 -server. The
second (FreeBSD) box is dev server for some web projects. I have
svnserve running on BSD box, but it seems to accept only IP6 localhost
(i think) connections. "telnet localhost 3690", gives:

[nils_at_homebsd ~]$ telnet localhost 3690
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
( success ( 2 2 ( ) ( edit-pipeline svndiff1 absent-entries
commit-revprops depth log-revprops partial-replay ) ) )

Connection refused from any host on V4 subnet...

--------------------

FreeBSD - 8.0, svnserve is version 1.6.6 (r40053). Installation trough
ports collection.
SVN part of /etc/rc.conf looks like:

svnserve_enable="YES"
svnserve_flags="-d --log-file /var/db/repositories/svnserve.log"
svnserve_data="/var/db/repositories"

No firewalls enabled. Sockstat -4 also does not show anything
listening on tcp4/3690.
Googling trough the net I finally found an advice, to give additional
flags to svnserve: --listen-port 3690 --listen-host 0.0.0.0. Is this
normal behaviour or a bug, or am I doing something wrong ? Took me
half a day to figure it out...

Best Regards
Nils
