Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy and SSHD IPV4

I read a couple of how to on changing sshd daemon to only listen to IPV4 requests and not IPV6:

http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/...tions-on-ipv6/

I only unremarked

"ListenAddress 0.0.0.0"

and added

"AddressFamily inet"

I have restarted ssh:

PHP Code:



/etc/init.d/ssh restart

and it continues to listen for IPV6 . What gives?

Nevermind, oddly the system needed a reboot. I though when using linux that wasnt necessary?

Well, kernel modules could be an exception. They can be (un)loaded manually but it is one of those things that tends to get overlooked.
