I believe 9.2 has a setting in yast to dissable ipv6, but 9.1 doesn't.
I hope this also disables the place in SuSEfirewall2 where ip6_tables is loaded anyway, even if the ipv6 module isn't loaded (that's in 9.0, I don't know 9.1 because I have never installed it).
Perhaps. I suppose so, but I don't know, I don't have 9.2 yet.
Perhaps the powers that be might consider backporting this feature to 9.0 and 9.1, and issuing an update for all appropriate packages.
You can wait sitting down. X'-) (Spanish saying, meaning don't expect it)
This whole issue begs the question: will the next version of SuSE also have an option to disable ipv4, for those who only have an ipv6 presence?
I doubt it, at least, not yet. ipv6 is still experimental, work in progress, and I don't think every linux program would work. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
