I'm curious about the status of this issue, and my (limited) understanding of
it.
I expected that setting IPV6_PRIVACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl would have
worked, but it doesn't, because it changes it for default not 'all'.
Furthermore, the kernel bug(s) referenced above seem to indicate that 'all'
doesn't work quite right for things like use_tempaddr, and that the interface
name must be used explicitly.
Am I wrong to conclude that
a) the init script in openSUSE 11.4 /as of this writing/ is not working
properly (it is clearly writing to 'default' which only works for interfaces
brought up after)
b) it should write to *both* default *and* all *and* all interfaces[1], since
'all' does NOT appear to work?
[1] -- how hard to fix the kernel vs. the init script such that writing to
'all' really changes 'all' ?
