Can't seem to figure out how to completely disable ipv6 in 12.4-RELEASE. Tried everything I've found in searches, I think. rc.conf: ip6addrctl_enable="NO" ip6addrctl_prefer_ipv4="YES" ip6addrctl_prefer_ipv6="NO" ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="NO" # neither of the 2 lines below have any effect; # nor does the absence of them # lo0 always has ipv6 configured #ipv6_network_interfaces="none" #ipv6_network_interfaces="" An ifconfig shows no ipv6 on any interfaces except lo0: lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=680003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 groups: lo nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> So how do I get rid of it on lo0? Should I care? Gary
