It doesn't freakin' work! :( I've done what you suggested, and I can't ssh to 
my box from outside and I still get the message in the log file... I also 
tried "alias net-pf-6 off"  as suggested in an archived message on the RedHat 
list.... *sigh* I /REALLY/ , really, wish that RedHat/Fedora wouldn't try to 
"make things easier" by installing IPV6 by default! It seems to create more 
headaches than it solves!

Can someone PLEASE help me turn off this IPV6 crap and get SSHD working? 
please????
