I'm used to seeing NOINET6 in ifconfig and just realised it isn't set on this machine :-( still it's blocked by PF :-) If a user says none to ipv6 address in the installer why not set things appropriately. It occured to me that /etc/rc has PF settings that a default ipv6 block may prevent initial machine accessibility? -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
