Two steps: 1. Create a file named /etc/sysctl.d/disable-ipv6.conf in /etc/sysctl.d/ that will contain: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 This will disable IPv6 in all future reboots. In the mean time (current boot), type: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 2. Gotchas: sshd will continue to bind to IPv6 socket, breaking X11 forwarding [1]. The solution to the problem is to add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/sshd: OPTIONS=-4 - Gilboa [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735889 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
