mine is a kernel param
yours is a sysctl.conf setting

there is a big difference between both starting where you config
them, so please do not bring up sysctl params when one speaks about
kernel params without a hint which is understandable for beginners
too and not only people like me which knowing both well

i had all this sysctl-crap if you look in the archive but
services was still listening on "::" and with the kernel param
ipv6 is REALLY completly disabled
