I am running avahi-daemon 0.6.22 on Ubuntu 8.04, and it publishes an
ipv6 address even though I'm trying to tell it not to:
Oct 28 17:45:09 labserver avahi-daemon[9603]: avahi-daemon 0.6.22
starting up.
Oct 28 17:45:09 labserver avahi-daemon[9603]: Successfully called
chroot().
Oct 28 17:45:09 labserver avahi-daemon[9603]: Successfully dropped
remaining capabilities.

in /etc/avahi/services.

Oct 28 17:45:09 labserver avahi-daemon[9603]: Registering new address

Oct 28 17:45:09 labserver avahi-daemon[9603]: Registering HINFO record
with values 'I686'/'LINUX'.
Oct 28 17:45:10 labserver avahi-daemon[9603]: Server startup complete.
Host name is labserver.local. Local service cookie is 3357143783.
This is despite the fact that I have these settings in /etc/avahi/
avahi-daemon.conf:
use-ipv4=true
use-ipv6=false
publish-a-on-ipv6=no
Having an ipv6 address published is causing timeouts from Macs. Is
there a way I can get avahi to stop publishing the ipv6 address?
Thanks!
