I thought, that everything is just OK with my ip6 settings under my SUSE 9.1, but very recently my firewall started to complain concerning "ip6table_mangle":

I did the changes written by SUSE, how to disable ip6 networking, so in etc/modprobe.conf stands now: alias net-pf-10 ipv6 install ipv6 /bin/true
You try to disable ipv6 here.
Additionally in my /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 is: FW_IPv6="drop" FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING="yes"
But you tell SuSEfirewall2 to use it at the same time.
Could you please suggest me a way how to block ipv6 completely, but avoid the above mentioned error message in the same time?! Do I actually need ip6_tables to be loaded?!
Set FW_IPv6=no if you don't want any IPv6 packet filtering. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX AG, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
