I didn't mention: Debian.  That's "Debian", for "The distribution that changes things, just because it can." :-(

Well, I apologise once again.  I must learn patience.  "rm /etc/sysctl.d/bind_v6only" and then "shutdown -r now" does the trick.  Really, I can't think why they had to change the default (the comment says to make it match other OSs).

Cheers,
