I've run system-config-network (and looked at /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 and profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0) -- and ipv6 is not enabled (IPV6INIT=no). Still, on each reboot, NetworkManager adds the following line to /etc/hosts:<br><br>::1 <hostname> localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6<br><br>(where <hostname> is my machine name).<br><br>In ifcfg-eth0 (and elsewhere, as above) NM_CONTROLLED=yes. So it seems NetworkManager is getting the configuration from somewhere to modify the settings. I just can't figure out where.<br><br><div
