I'm not even sure how to respond to that...

Lets assume that you aren't actually saying that making the change
from the command line doesn't persist though a reboot (which would be
foolish, since most linux installs are command line only). It sounds
like you think he ran a command that disabled IPv6. That is NOT what
he said. What he actually did was edit a config file and set the
disable option to true (which is what you told him to do, with a few
minor changes). After that, he started the service. I see no reason
why this wouldn't persist though a reboot.

Since you mentioned that in your experience doing it from the command
line doesn't persist though a reboot, I can only assume that you are
logging into some graphical environment as root and editing the file
in a graphical editor. What he did was the same thing, although he did
it all from the command line.

Thanks,
