While chasing other issues, noticed that listing ports in use (open) using socklist shows some services have tcp6 and udp6 listed.
This puzzles me as IPv6 is disabled, not checked as enabled, in network config via YAST.
I thought that disabled IPv6 entirely? Not so?
When you ask questions, it helps to describe what settings you are talking about more precisely than "network config in YaST".
If you mean "Enable IPv6" check button in "Global Options" tab - this setting disables IPv6 addresses on interfaces. It does not prevent applications from creating IPv6 sockets.
Point taken.
Yes, I meant that check box.
One presumes the applications will have some means of specifying protocols to use and this will vary with each?
Surely there is a way to disable it at the "system level"? I'll put that on my search list.
What is "it"? If you do not want to even have IPv6 protocol available, use ipv6 module disable=1 option.
