unable to disable ipv6 in sarge
Dear list,
I cannot disable ipv6. I tryed the following
1. edit /etc/modutils/aliases and uncomment the line
#alias net-pf-10 off # IPv6
2. run update-modules
3. reboot
doing so the module ipv6.ko keeps beeing loaded al lsmod shows me.
I need to disable ipv6 since dns lookups in any graphical application
are damn slow. Indeed, in order to survive, after a long struggle I
just renamed the module file and now a can surf without swearing.
The fact that the module gets loaded is demonstrated by the following
Oct 9 22:16:07 vaccaro kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 10
Oct 9 22:16:07 vaccaro kernel: Disabled Privacy Extensions on device c02f4780(lo)
Oct 9 22:16:07 vaccaro kernel: IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
I am runnig Sarge with kernel 2.6.7.
Can anybody help me understand what the heck is going on? What am I missing
Thanks in advance
Andrea Vaccaro
