[BlueOnyx:14121] Re: How to disable IPV6??

[Chuck Tetlow]

Nope - a reboot didn't work  either.  Followed those instructions to the letter - and IPV6 is still loading up.

And trying "rmmod ipv6" returns "ERROR: Module ipv6 is in use by cnic", even though I've told it in all those places not to start IPV6.

Oh well.  I'll just set ip6tables to block everything, and worry about shutting down IPV6 later.

The weird part - I already had a "Port" command in there.  I tried adding a second port (I run some of my SSH server on two different ports - so I can get in from the outside while the main router blocks everything on port 22).  But that didn't work either.  Weird - even with the Port command in there, I'd get the same error.
