** Description changed: + SRU Justification: + + Impact: The method to disable IPV6 in Jaunty does not work, which does + not allow systgem administrators to disable it on specific systems. + + Fix: Patch from upstream which fixes the disable_ipv6 method. + + Testcase: Try to disable ipv6 for a system with echo 1 + >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 + + ===== + When using sysctl to disable IPv6, it doesn't work. The command I used is the following: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 Looking around it seens this a bug in the linux kernel, which already has a fix, as described here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/24127/ Please, backport this patch so IPv6 can easily be disabled on Jaunty! I'm running Jaunty beta, updated as of 29/03/2009. Any details needed I'll be glad to provide.
