Hi

I have disabled or tried to disable ipv6 for security reasons.

I have used the following methodology to disable it:

 

Added the following to /etc/sysconfig/network:

NETWORKING_IPV6=no

IPV6INIT=no

IPV6_AUTOCONF=no

 

I have also added IPV6INIT=no to the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo scripts.

 

Despite all this if I do a ifconfig listing I can still see the ipv6
lines.

 

The only way I have found to disable ipv6 is to add the following to
/etc/modprobe.conf

 

alias net-pf-10 off.

 

Two questions:

Does anyone know why the networking scripts is ignoring the IPV6 lines?

 

and

 

how would I "run" the command "alias net-pf-10 off" found in modprobe
without needing to reboot.

 

Best Regards
