Sounds counter-intuitive (I asked too), but what happens is that modprobe.conf tells the kernel what to do when asked for a specific module. So when something requests "ipv6" modprobe.conf is in effect saying "don't install anything, just answer /bin/true so they go away happy without an error code." Short answer: it's a workaround at the moment, but it *will* disable IPv6. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Simpaticus.com
