This is causing me some aggravation, as localhost connections (such as "apachectl fullstatus") are from "[client ::1]" instead of the old-fashioned 127.0.0.1. To my surprise,
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html> doesn't talk about rc.conf at all, and I'm not sure where else this would be set up.
Try commenting out (#) ::1 from /etc/hosts, which is loopback for IPv6.
Teodor,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I commented out ::1 and rebooted. Unfortunately, ifconfig still shows inet6 configured on xl0.
FWIW, www, which does not show inet6, also has the ::1 entry in /etc/hosts, so there's something else different.
If you want to get more experimental, you can go ahead and completely remove IPv6 support from your kernel, although I don't see this as necessary.
Nah, I don't want to break IPv6, just turn it off.
