Do you use iptables on the system? On my systems I don't install the ip6tables package, and disable iptables in my %post in kickstart, and disable IPv6 during %post as well - sed -i s'/^NETWORKING_IPV6=yes/NETWORKING_IPV6=no/'g /etc/sysconfig/network If you don't need IPv6 iptables I'd suggest disabling it, perhaps something like chkconfig --level 2345 ip6tables off (since I don't have the package installed I'm not certain what the init script name is) nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
