Turn off IPv6 either just for sshd or for the entire kernel... I think the following in /etc/modprobe.conf alias ipv6 off alias net-pf-10 off does wonders :)
And I got hell from people in LPI when I suggested the next round of the LPIC-1 exams (for 2007+) should test people on how to at least disable IPv6. ;->
are you saying the above is wrong? [I know there's an /etc/sysconfig/somethingorother file which contains networking settings for IPV6 but I've never managed to get those to actually work] Cheers, MaZe.
This got me curious. Looking at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup- ipv6, you can control ipv6 from /etc/sysconfig/network.
# Uses following information from "/etc/sysconfig/network": # NETWORKING_IPV6=yes|no: controls IPv6 initialization (global setting) # IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=<device>: controls default route (optional) # IPV6_DEFAULTGW=<address>: controls default route (optional)
