How to disable IPv6 in Debian

Ive recently installed a new LDAP server on Debian Lenny and I wanted to disable IPv6 as it is unnecessary for me in this moment. With netstat I checked the listening processes: netstat -tunlp
Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2226/slapd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2215/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::389 :::* LISTEN 2226/slapd tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 2215/sshd

and lsmod showed something like this:

Module Size Used by ipv6 235364 12 ...

So, to disable IPv6 I changed /etc/modprobe.d/aliases:

... # alias net-pf-10 ipv6 # Disable ipv6 alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off ...

I also disabled these lines in /etc/hosts to avoid confusions:

... ## The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts #::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback #fe00::0 ip6-localnet #ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix #ff02::1 ip6-allnodes #ff02::2 ip6-allrouters #ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Finally I restarted the server. shutdown -r now Now the situation is like this:
