It looks backwards, but maybe I am misinterpreting it... :-) Yes, it tells the (module tools? initscripts?) that to install the ipv6 module, you just run /bin/true. And naturally you get a happy return code from that ;-) I once managed to leave in /etc/resolv.conf a static DNS cache from here on a machine I then took elsewhere. I was puzzled it was slow and it was puzzled as to why I was telling it to look at 192.168.0.1 for DNS :-) Hence I suggest looking with tcpdump at what goes on at the wire when you are doing a DNS lookup. 192.168.0.1 stuck out like a sore thumb when I did this. You might as well turn off ipv6 anyway, but if it is trying to talk ipv6 that will also stick out like a sore thumb. tcpdump is very very useful. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA4DMxjKeDCxMJCTIRAon9AJ419J01NEEpqF0NytSlf4n734cOLACdGHEA lRdU/f+L1gWCLme2WWcblmQ= =dRf6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
