next time a deb's post-install script runs update-modules, that change is erased. what you should have edited is /etc/modutils/aliases and run update-modules yourself. > IMHO that should be enough, but it does not always work and IPv6 is getting > loaded (sometimes). Any more ideas? yes, it annoyed me too, and I didn't bother with fancy modules.conf tricks, I went straight to the /lib/modules tree and renamed ipv6.ko of my kernel. I donno what decided to load it and I don't care anymore. What worried me were simply the implications of bind9 and apache2 among others that started listening to tcp6 sockets - my firewall opens only a select list of ports, and I never opened IPv6 packet types. I donno what the implications are, since I never had the need to get into this new protocol in the real world, and therefore I might just as well not load it to the kernel at all. -- Big man on campus Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
