Greetings;

In /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 I have the line as in the subject, but I notethat bringing up eth0, at a fixed ipv4 address in the 192.168 block, there isabout a 5 second pause doing it, and ifconfig does report what looks likevalid ipv6 addresses for both eth0 and lo.

How does one go about disabling that?


What happens if you add:

install ipv6 /bin/true

to /etc/modprobe.conf? Forgive me if that doesn't work, I don't have aFedora box to play with at the moment, only RHEL 5.
