−* How disable IPv6?
+
−
+
−** Debian kernel 2.6/Ubuntu ("official" method)/Fedora Core.
+
−
+
−Comment in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases "alias net-pf-10 ipv6" and add alias
+
−"net-pf-10 off", "alias ipv6 off":
+
−
+
−  $ sudo emacs /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
+
−...
+
−  $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
+
−...
+
−# alias net-pf-10 ipv6
+
−alias net-pf-10 off
+
−alias ipv6 off
+
−...
+
−
+
−Reboot or
+
−
+
−  $ sudo update-modules
+
−
+
−Another way is adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local lines
+
−
+
−  blacklist ipv6
+
−
+
−You can safely wipe out any IPv6 reference in "/etc/hosts" and
+
−"/etc/network/interfaces".
+
−
+
−** RHEL4/Centos4.
+
−
+
−As for Debian, but "/etc/modprobe.d/aliases" has name "/etc/modprobe.conf".
+
−
+
−** KDE.
+
−
+
−  $ cat /etc/environment
+
−...
+
−KDE_NO_IPV6=true
+
−...
+
−
+
−** Firefox.
+
−
+
−See about:config page, set "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true".
