Jira (FACT-1475) facter returns wrong ipv6 information when IPV6 stack is disabled

[Peter Meier (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Peter Meier commented on FACT-1475   Re: facter returns wrong ipv6 information when IPV6 stack is disabled Yes it resolves, still to an ipv6 address. So somehow you still have an ip6 address on your interfaces, which means that you do not have properly disabled ipv6. Are you unloading the module? Anyway it seems that meanwhile the ip util got fixed. At least CentOS 7: # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/vg--meh-root ro crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=vg-meh/root rd.lvm.lv=vg-meh/swap ipv6.disable=1 console=ttyS0,115200 panic=30 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # ip -6 addr # ip -6 route show # facter -p --show-legacy | grep ipaddress default_ipaddress => 192.168.1.22 ipaddress => 192.168.1.22 ipaddress_eth0 => 192.168.1.22 ipaddress_lo => 127.0.0.1   Compare to what I reported in FACT-1739 So facter is not anymore reporting an ipaddress6 fact. Still this could have been avoided if facter would match values against an excpected pattern. Which in this case here would be pretty trivial, as the format of an ipaddress is (luckily) the same on any system.
