*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 125587 *** For me, lsmod currently shows 28 clients for the ipv6 module on one system, 18 on another, but no indication of what they are. (The first system has more interfaces.) How might one determine that? That should help in figuring out what's pulling it into memory. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: At the end of /etc/sysconfig/network i added this line: NETWORKING_IPV6=no Then did a reboot. However, that did not turn off IPv6: the ipv6 module still loaded up, the interfaces were still having IPv6 addresses. Then i added this line to /etc/modprobe.conf: install ipv6 /bin/true That turned off IPv6. It looks like the NETWORKING_IPV6 is not honored by the start-up scripts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.53-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.doh, see above 2. 3. Actual Results: doh, see above Expected Results: doh, see above Additional info: This is a FC2 system on an AthlonXP, kept up-to-date with yum.
