Hi everybody,

I need to disable ipv6 in order to get VNC remote administration to work
(see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546632)

However, disabling ipv6 in yast->network settings (and rebooting) has not
the desired effect: ipv6 still shows up on ifconfig, ip route and
netstat.

echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

Thanks, did the trick.

So, what's the purpose of that yast option?
