Is there a specific reason why you feel the need to disable IPv6?

I'd like to ask same question, too.


I'm not too familiar at all with ipv6, so I'll ask this question:
How does iptables handle IPV6 packets?

For example:
If you used iptables to block all sorts of ports, but you still had 
ipv6 enabled on a nic, could those ports still be accessed via an ipv6 
travelling packet?
Again, I'm newbish on ipv6.

Cheers,
Mike
