Re: How to stop my services from trying to bind to IPv6?
I just don't want my logs filling up with useless error messages ;) Thanks!

Nope, quite the opposite. IPv6 is in a lot of services, and keeping it on is a good idea (at least imho). In rc.conf you can set many *_flags to listen on IPv4. For example: sshd_flags="-4" You could also simply block all traffic on IPv6 (in pf): block all inet6 HTH, -- # Curt Micol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: How to stop my services from trying to bind to IPv6?
I use the default sshd config file, I'd rather not maintain one. As for my named.conf, I haven't enabled no IPv6 setting there either. Perhaps an ipv6_enable="NO" in rc.conf will do the trick? Honestly though, shouldn't FreeBSD assume I don't use IPv6 unless I tell it that I do?
