Description of problem: spacewalk-setup-jabberd in stock Satellite 5.5 would incorrectly configure jabberd to use IPv6 addresses although the system has no IPv6 addresses configured. spacewalk-setup-jabberd tries to decide whether or not to configure jabberd for IPv6 based on existence of the following file: /proc/net/if_inet6 It is possible to configure system to contain the file above, but not to have any IPv6 connectivity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-setup-jabberd-1.7.0-2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. RHEL-5 system, standard installation 2. Put the following into /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 and reboot. 3. Install Satellite 5.5 Actual results: * /proc/net/if_inet6 exists, but is empty. * jabberd is configured with IPv6 addresses * jabberd services (and osa-dispatcher by transition) fail to start Expected results: * /proc/net/if_inet6 exists, but is empty. * jabberd is configured with IPv4 addresses * jabberd services (and osa-dispatcher by transition) start correctly.

I can confirm this behaviour.
