If we suppress it entirely, there is no user-visible report that IPv6 isn't enabled on this computer, though if your kernel doesn't support it, you would think they would know that, but I suspect many people don't know it has to be enabled in the kernel --- hence the wording of the original message. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
