[opensuse] How do I disable dhcp 6 client
Hi, How do I disable the start up of the IPv6 dhcp client? The client is filling up the system log with messages as it cannot get a lease. I've set DHCLIENT6_BIN="none" in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp in the hopes that an unrecognized/unsupported option would would prevent the startup of the IPv6 client, but this did not work. I also set: echo “alias net-pf-10 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local echo “alias ipv6 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local But that didn't do the trick either. Help is appreciated.

Workaround only for DHCPv6 without touching general IPv6 is provided here https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616765#c4
I also set: echo “alias net-pf-10 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local echo “alias ipv6 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local
So, you want to disable IPv6 completely? I assume you are not using the NetworkManager, since I do and do not see these messages. AFAIK you can disable IPv6 in YaST easily.

Check /bin/false too, but that can flood your logs with messages about dhcp6 client error. I have disabled IPv6 in every place I know of, which includes YaST Network Devices, KDE and Firefox. I'm not sure about current status - but once before there was need to touch KDE and Firefox separately, even IPv6 was disabled system wide in YaST. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
