Re: IPv6, thought it was off

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check your startup job. We often start TCP in there and if the command 
is coded with STRIP6(*YES) then it starts.  If your IPL Attribtes have 
STRTCP(*YES) then it will use the defaults on the STRTCP command in QSYS.

Also check to see if perhaps your changed defaults are to a command in a 
different library than QSYS.

You will always have the IP6 loopback address ::1 just like you always 
have the IP4 address 127.0.0.1. As you suggest though it won't be 
running if you don't start it.

If you aren't using it though as you suggest not starting it IS the 
right answer.
