That was helpful--thanks
The NSA (in its Hardening Tips for Default Installation of Mac OS X 10.5) recommends that IPv6 be turned off, if the user doesn't need it. I really appreciate these UNIX commands... thanks.

I believe he was referring to system preferences>network>advanced>configure iPv6. There is no "off" option there.
