Teodor, Thanks for the suggestion. I commented out ::1 and rebooted. Unfortunately, ifconfig still shows inet6 configured on xl0. FWIW, www, which does not show inet6, also has the ::1 entry in /etc/hosts, so there's something else different. >If you want to get more experimental, you can go ahead and completely >remove IPv6 support from your kernel, although I don't see this as >necessary. Nah, I don't want to break IPv6, just turn it off. Chris -- Chris Pepper: <http://www.reppep.com/~pepper/>; Rockefeller University: <http://www.rockefeller.edu/>;
