There are lots of "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" in var/log/messages . I googled and find it is ipv6 releated, so I tried to disable ipv6.

I added the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1

and blacklist ipv6 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

after that, I restarted the network by /etc/init.d/networking restart .

My question is: The ip addr still shows inet6 address attached to eth0 in forms like inet6 fe80::212:79ff:fecf:edaf/64 scope link

Does it means my ipv6 not disabled?
