I'm using a Slackware virtual private server and have an IPv6 block for it. How do you set that up for Slackware? I.e., I'd like to use the addresses for different domains. I know I'd have to make AAAA records, but apparently for anything more than one IPv6 address, I have to configure the rest, maybe in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and /etc.rc.inet1. All I've found on the Internet about this is an old post here for Slackware 13.1, that doesn't have the example rc.inet1 anymore.
I gave up blocking ip6. Now I run ip6tables and block everything. It's the same as iptables.try it. I didn't think you could block through a config file.effectively.

I don't have a firewall and don't plan to add one.
You misunderstand me. The rc.firewall script is just a script that (if executable) will be run after rc.inet1 gets your network up and running. You do not need to actually do firewall-y stuff in there. But if you need to run some commands to also get ipv6 the way you like it, it seems like the ideal place.

I doubt it. That thread was talking about editing rc.inet1, which with modification, can already use IPv6. Those Usenet alt.os.linux.slackware thread replies were talking about writing an entire new script that seems must duplicate some of rc.inet1's functionality... seems like overdoing it.
