There is no ipv6 service within 100 miles, so I should set a /proc
command to kill ipv6, so whats the official syntax? for that.
I don't know if there is another method, I'll give you mine, which
consists in telling the kernel to completely disable IPv6, in the kernel
command line.
Edit "/etc/default/grub", on the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" (or
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT", depending on your config), add :
ipv6.disable=1
Don't forget to run "update-grub", then reboot.
If it worked, you will find in the syslog :
"IPv6: Loaded, but administratively disabled, reboot required to enable".
If you're not using GRUB, you will have to find where kernel options
should be entered (also called kernel command line).
