I have freebsd 4.7 installed... and it was working just great... till it
decided it (or me) decided to start inet6...

here's my theory...

got a bunch of daemons that hang on boot... and sometimes on use..
including sendmail and my ftp server... when i send a message in pine.. it
takes about a minute to actually send... and this started happening when i
saw that inet6 showed up on the ifconfig...

ifconfig:
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=3<rxcsum,txcsum>
        inet 192.168.1.21 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        inet6 fe80::204:75ff:fe9f:b334%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:04:75:9f:b3:34
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
xl1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=3<rxcsum,txcsum>
        ether 00:04:75:be:49:b4
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
faith0: flags=8002<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552

xl0 is my nic.. xl1 is another nic that's not in use...

is there anyway to just have it not use inet6? or is there a way to
quickly bypass this long wait when booting or sending mail?

i'm fairly new to this.. so sorry if i'm a bonehead.. but i'll do my best
to keep up...

ohh.. and this is much better than redhat!!! :)


Thanks!
