i do not like to see any ipv6-configuration/IP as long the WAN
is ipv4 only and this may be a long time

I don't know, but...

... this is how I do it (Fedora 16):

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

The first command disables it immediately, the second after a reboot.

HTH,
Rich

thanks, this works!
"systcl -p" makes changes in /etc/sysctl.conf active immediately

well, my /etc/sysctl.conf is growing and growing :-)

hm - but it seems not to work perfectly

"sysctl.conf" is applyied not at the first begin of the boot-process
so it seems samba as example is starting while the option is not
set, restart it after boot hash fnished removes the ipv6-listening

[root@rh:~]$ netstat -l | grep smb

[root@rh:~]$ service smb restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart smb.service
