Greetings;
In /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 I have the line as in the subject, but I note
that bringing up eth0, at a fixed ipv4 address in the 192.168 block, there is
about a 5 second pause doing it, and ifconfig does report what looks like
valid ipv6 addresses for both eth0 and lo.

How does one go about disabling that?
