[coLinux-users] Re: IPv6 troubles

[Mitch B. <wm...@ag...>]

One way to disable ipv6 is to edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and change 
the line

   alias net-pf-10 ipv6
to
   alias net-pf-10 off

Then reboot (there is probably some way to avoid doing so, but...)

It's possible that Debian has some fancy front end program to maintain 
that file, but if so, I don't know what it is.
