True, that in F9 there is no "default" /etc/modprobe.conf, but if you simply place the following two lines in that newly created file, it will prevent the ipv6 kernel module from loading: alias ipv6 off alias net-pf-10 off Again, I am not sure about the current need for the second line. I have not tried it, but placing the module names in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file may also achieve the same results. Understand that the entry in the ifcfg-* files which you are so fond of only prevents the use of the "other" forms of autoconfiguration like dhcpv6 and router advertisements. You will still get a "Link-Local" address that while not routable will still leave you exposed to connections from other IPv6 machines on the local LAN, which is part of the "discussion" currently going on fedora-devel about the need for ip6tables to be started automatically on a default install. You must prevent the kernel module from loading into memory if you want to stop the creation of Link-Local addresses. --Rob -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
