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?
I use only systemd-network, so can't configure using YaST. Here's evidence of disabling here: # dmesg | grep -i ipv6 [ 0.000000] Command line: <...> ipv6.disable=1 <...> [ 0.018438] Kernel command line: <...> ipv6.disable=1 <...> [ 0.885953] IPv6: Loaded, but administratively disabled, reboot required to enable [ 5.020243] systemd[1]: Binding to IPv6 address not available since kernel does not support IPv6.
