[arm-allstar] lots of log entries

[John Hoser-Smith]

David's Method is very slick - to disable IPv6...Here is my (old fashion?) way...Note:   this is (just for) the Arch Linux version that Doug uses for his RPi3 Allstar work.
Use the Nano editor
Create/Edit:  file name       40-ipv6.conf     it should be located in   /ect/sysctl.d   directory
Contents of file...
# Disable IPv6

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1

net.ipv6.conf.wan0.disable_ipv6 = 1

(save above file) - note you've specifically disabled IPv6 by each named Network Interface on the RPi3 wired ethernet & wireless
Also Recommended - edit your hosts file     /etc/hostsUse the  #  to comment out the entry below#::1 localhost.localdomain localhost


Recommended - next Reboot the Rpi3
Next check your work - after the reboot.Get to the command line again and simply type      ifconfig
You should ONLY SEE the IPv4 entries and no IPv6 entries.

Hi Dave,

I just created a simple package which will disable IPv6 in the V1.5 
release...

To disable IPv6, simply install the package and reboot. Try:

pacman -Sy hamvoip-no-ipv6
reboot

Then, if you need to re-enable IPv6, remove the package and reboot

Yes my Comcast Business Class (cable modem - DOCSIS v3.0) hands out IPv6 addresses as a default.
