I don't have a directory /etc/sysconfig/networking/ on my CentOS-7 server,
but I have IPV6INIT=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp{23}s0 .
Incidentally, I haven't yet worked out how to get any useful information
from nmap, as suggested by Johnny Hughes - I only get information
about open ports, which is interesting but not relevant to my query
about the 169.254.* address appearing in "arp -a" on my server.
I looked at "man nmap" but there seem to be an infinity of options.
