Hi,

if you dont intend fo run IPv6 on that server then I'd suggest to
turn it off - otherwise you may have no ::1 in /etc/hosts but your IPv6 stack
is running and ALL daemons etc that can do IPv6 *will* do IPv6 - that'd
include FreeRADIUS if its set to use DNS names and they lookup nicely
to IPv6 addresses - eg the UK National JRS proxies.

heres some help
