Check you "/etc/hosts" file. You should have this line which enables
the ipv6 loopback interface:
***
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ***
Yeah, it's commented out :)
I can't now remember why I did that; but I think it might have been a
problem with bind9...
Does bind9 have any problem with ipv6? I didn't notice, at least in my
Lenny servers :-?
Yes, I think it was discussed on this list.
Maybe not bind9, but my router can't handle ipv6:
May 3 21:29:53 tony-lx named[1985]: error (FORMERR) resolving
'telegraph.nestoria.co.uk/AAAA/IN': 178.250.72.132#53
May 3 21:29:53 tony-lx named[1985]: DNS format error from
178.250.74.132#53 resolving telegraph.nestoria.co.uk/AAAA for client
192.168.1.105#56959: invalid response
Commenting out the ipv6 entry in hosts fixed that.
I've uncommented it now; done ifdown/ifup, but still no inet6 addr on
lo. Still, never mind...
Re-commented now...
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
Neither of those provokes a response here.
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,
Cheers, tony
