The knob to select IPv4-preferred or IPv6-preferred in 8.X is $ipv6_enable. If you want IPv4-preferred with ipv6_enable=YES, please use /etc/ip6addrctl.conf. The $ip6addrctl_policy is one introduced in 9.X and later for selecting one of them independently from whether IPv6 is enabled or not. This variable is not supported in 8.X. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Fri_Jul_29_02_33_51_2011_945)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAk4xnYAACgkQTyzT2CeTzy0z7wCfW+HqUaZC66CBQXL9FngEz5Rd qpYAn3HyLgegDVMxIsqrhUH/fBsobsll =ULb7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Fri_Jul_29_02_33_51_2011_945)----
