may i _kindly_ ask to give a relieable way like ipv6.disable=1
which works in F17/F18 and not in F19 beause i know what i
am doing and there is currently no need for ipv6

the "inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>" means i need
as example to run ip6tables to block access on servers to
localhost:139/445 because internally the machine is serviced
via SMB instead FTP but a PHP-script must never open a socket
to the samba daemon
