	no.  the "tcp46" line is for sshd listening to AF_INET6 wildcard socket,
	which may grab both IPv4/v6 traffic (if you run fstat, you will see it
	more clearer).  if you would like to disable the AF_INET6 listening
	socket by sshd, have the following line in /etc/sshd_config:

	ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

	or "sshd -4" should do it.
