           Summary: IPV6_PRIVACY (use_tempaddr) does not work
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.8)
Gecko/2009032600 SUSE/3.0.8-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.8

I am using radvd on the server for IPv6 auto-configuration. I want to hide my
MAC address (using use_tempaddr=1 sysctl setting).

IPV6_PRIVACY in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl is set to "yes" and /var/log/boot.msg
contains the statement "Enabling IPv6 privacy" from /etc/init.d/boot.ipconfig.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set IPV6_PRIVACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl
2. reboot
3. check IPv6 address

I tried to add 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr' but
this does not help either.
Actual Results:  

"sysctl -a | grep use_tempaddr" results in:

net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.use_tempaddr = -1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 0

use_tempaddr for eth0 is 0 and my IPv6 address contains my MAC address.



Expected Results:  
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr should be 1 and my IPv6 address should not
contain my MAC address.
