Re: slapd_open_listener: socket () failed for AF_INET6_errno=97

[Tim Jordan <timothy_jordan@labor.state.ak.us>]

Kurt, I think I've found the problem.  My Debian box (vmware) keeps
losing it nic and when I bring it back up it's doing so in IPv6
configuration.  Once this is done I can't search Openldap - it just
hangs.  I stop slapd and..it won't restart.

I'm hoping one of my good Debian friends know more about the nic config
then I do.  I don't want IPv6....

Thanks for the help,
TJ
