Re: [CentOS] How to disable ipv6

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to CentOS. I am working with a newly set-up server:

[cbearden@host ~]$ lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 6.3 (Final) Release: 6.3 Codename: Final

I'm trying to solve this problem (X11 forwarding) http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.centos.general/119342/focus=119347 for myself.

But disabling ipv6 and adding

AddressFamily inet

to my sshd config didn't fix the problem. Oddly enough, the output of

netstat -an

suggests that ipv6 is still enabled:

What's it saw about V6INIT in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<whatever>?
