I have a fairly vanilla install of Centos5 on a desktop box (with a
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit NIC). When booting, the boot
process hangs at "Applying ip6tables firewall rules" for 30-60 seconds
before proceeding, which is annoying. I have not tried to turn off
ipv6 networking. I guess I could, but is this slowness to be expected?
Is it waiting for some ipv6 response?
# chkconfig ip6tables off
will probably stop this from occurring. looks like
/etc/init.d/ip6tables invokes /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables-config then if it
finds them, /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables .. the -config file just sets some
environment variables, so probably doesn't take more than a blink, while
/etc/sysconfig/ip6tables is going to attempt to set whatever firewall
rules are in there.
