Some apps bind to the ipv6 loopback for example in error and this causes delays. Others try to lookup/use addresses in that protocol and need to timeout. You might be assuming that everyone codes applications properly for every conceivable circumstance encountered:) It's another argument whether or not that's Fedora's fault for enabling it and I won't get into that pissing contest. Since none of my networks use it I simply make a point to disable it as part of all other required config when I roll out a system. jlc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
