yes i have "NETWORKING_IPV6=no" since virtually forever in "/etc/sysconfig/network" as well as "IPV6INIT=false" in the interface configurations this was most time ignored after that i found out a modprobe-config like statet "install ipv6 /bin/true" does the trick but this is no longer true since a long time later there where some settings in /etc/sysctl.conf which worked a longe time until somewhere around F18 where "ipv6.disable=1" as kernel boot-param was sugessted after mailing to devel/systemd list and bugreports since this also does not work in recent environments my simple question by starting the thread was "which magic is now the best" and i was *not* interested in evangelists explaining how superiour ipv6 is as answer because it is *off-topic* for networks behind gateways which are not ipv6 capable and opens only *security problems* in LAN environments you need not a security hole in the protocl - the simple presence of it is one in environments where it is not needed is a security problem and violates best practices "disable anything which is not actively used" - period
