However that IS the official way to stop a module loading at the
module level,
it effectively says t use /bin/true as the loader for the module,
which does
nothing but return a happy retcode. There is probably stuff
in /etc/sysconfig smewhere which can turn it off at a higher level.
I have successfully turned off IPv6 using Andy's suggestion, and my
thanks to him.
However, I have not found any "cleaner" method of indicating to the
system that I have no intention or interest in running IPv6. Nothing in
/etc/sysconfig, for example. Does anyone know where I might nicely
indicate that to the system, or whether this is the
only/accepted/recommended way?
IPV6 is only supposed to load if /etc/sysconfig/network contains the
line:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
If you don't want IPV6, delete that line or set it to
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
BTW, a quick scan of /etc/rc.d/init.d/network would have revealed this.
