Does bind9 have any problem with ipv6? I didn't notice, at least in my Lenny servers :-? > I've uncommented it now; done ifdown/ifup, but still no inet6 addr on > lo. Still, never mind... I'm a curious cat O:-) Mmm, then there must be something at a lower layer, I mean, maybe is that you have disabled the whole ipv6 support at the kernel. I can see my two interfaces are getting an ipv6 address: sm01@stt008:~$ cat /proc/net/if_inet6 00000000000000000000000000000001 01 80 10 80 lo fe80000000000000023048fffed90827 02 40 20 80 eth0 And (from my Lenny): sm01@stt008:~$ lsmod|grep ipv6 ipv6 288456 26 Now I realize there's a wiki page in Debian explaining this ipv6 thingy: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6#How_to_turn_off_IPv6 Oh, and there's even a how-to for disabling ipv6 in Exim4. Too late, I'm afraid :-P Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
