Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 - disabling IPv6 addressing
I have to disagree on that. NATs is the problem and I am one of the causes of that problem as one of the principals behind RFC 1918. What has happened is that HTTP has become the transport for the Internet. Very bad in a number of ways. But for another time. Perhaps. Right now I have to deal with a new ISP that was on the road to static IPv6 when somehow the lead engineer kind of stopped responding to emails and I won't find out the details until IETF later this month.

Try: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=1 to persist between boots, be sure to add this to your /etc/sysctl.conf file. This should prevent the box from listening to any RA announcements.

So in the ifcfg-eth0 file I set: IPV6INIT="no" But I am still getting a global IPv6 (and of course local scope). What else do I need to do to disable the listening for RA announcements and setting an IPv6 global address? I do not want to reboot the box. I can restart the network as needed. I seem to recall, once upon atime an option in /etc/sysconfig/network thanks AFAIK/recall none of the ipv6 disabling in the /etc/sysconfig files has ever quite worked the way it was advertised, I ended up writing a small shell script to be executed on startup to handle the issue. something like: echo "disable ipv6 on physical interfaces" for i in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth* do echo 1 > $i/disable_ipv6 done but you may have better luck. I ended up simply disabling IPv6 for postfix. If it does not send with IPv6, no MTAs will fail to accept an IPv6 connection with no DNS or rDNS for that address. And really it SHOULD be that only postfix would be starting an outbound connection. Well there is spamassasin and clamav, but I don't believe they verify the source IP address asking for updates. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Centos 6 - disabling IPv6 addressing
I have just moved a host from a network that supports static IPv4 and IPv6. The IPv4 addr is set in ifcfg-eth0, and the IPv6 via RA (I set the MAC so I get an IPv6 addr that I like). I just moved the host to a network that supports static IPv4, but only dymanic IPv6, so at this time (until I get static IPv6), I need to disable the global IPv6 addressing. So in the ifcfg-eth0 file I set: IPV6INIT="no" But I am still getting a global IPv6 (and of course local scope). What else do I need to do to disable the listening for RA announcements and setting an IPv6 global address? I do not want to reboot the box. I can restart the network as needed. I seem to recall, once upon atime an option in /etc/sysconfig/network thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
