2.6.9-1.11_FC2smp IPv6 issue

[John Logsdon]

Hi

I downloaded 2.6.9-1.11_FC2smp in early January but have only just tried
it.  Previously the box was in FC2 but using various bespoke 2.4 kernels
although 2.6.8-1.521smp had been used without problem.

Booting this kernel has switched sshd into dual-listen mode so that all IP
numbers are reported as ::ffff:n.n.n.n.  This makes a monkey of my BF
protection as the apf firewall doesn't parse it correctly. When I boot
back into 2.4, sshd mode is retained in dual-listen, despite being dropped
on bootup.

I have explicitly switched ipv6 off in /etc/sysconfig/network but this
problem is still there. (NETWORKING_IPV6=no).  IPV6 is enabled in the 2.4
kernel by modules but none of them are loaded.

Can someone tell me please how do I stop sshd from working in dual-listen
mode?

TIA

John
