I turned off IPv4 completely on nicky and suddenly realized a few things:
- NTP: There’s no v6 NTP servers in the rhel.pool.ntp.org pools. Wound up using Sixxs.net’s pool.
- CentOS repositories: There’s not many v6 mirrors out there, but enough to successfully run a yum update.
- RPMforge/dag repo: There’s no v6 rpmforge/dag mirrors that I fould find at all.
- snmpd: snmpd hates me. I added the com2sec6 bits to my VACM configuration, and udp6:161 to my snmpd.options file. I know the request is making it because I see a “connection received from” entry in my log file for v6 addresses. Interestingly, the exact same snmpd.conf works on tifa with v6 requests, which still has v4 enabled.
