I hope this also disables the place in SuSEfirewall2 where ip6_tables is
loaded anyway, even if the ipv6 module isn't loaded (that's in 9.0, I
don't know 9.1 because I have never installed it). Perhaps the powers
that be might consider backporting this feature to 9.0 and 9.1, and
issuing an update for all appropriate packages.
This whole issue begs the question: will the next version of SuSE also
have an option to disable ipv4, for those who only have an ipv6
presence? With both versions enabled, hopefully YaST will also offer
options for configuring ipv6-to-ipv4 tunnelling. That stuff isn't all
that exotic, but it still baffles me, because I don't have the patience
to work through the documentation.
