Oh. I hadn't forgotten. This is what happened.

These are my settings:

[root@ipa02 etc]# cat sysctl.conf | grep -v '#'
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=0

These will overwrite my settings:

[root@ipa02 etc]# cat sysctl.d/anaconda.conf
# Anaconda disabling ipv6 (noipv6 option)
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

Two questions:
- Does FreeIPA (or, some components therein) really require ipv6? During
installation, it forced me to enable it.
- If so, these anaconda settings look like a trivial way to break the
system. I didn't install anaconda, but it was probably part of some
dependencies. Can something be done to make this more robust?

Best, Roberto
