1) if dhcp is used, we assume a portable system and have privacy extensions enabled by default via a box click box next to the IPv4 DHCP selection.
If dhcp is used you are on a managed network and this setting isn't used at all, when the router does not permit autoconf in its RA, e.g.: AdvManagedFlag on; # enables DHCPv6 AdvOtherConfigFlag on; # other config also DHCPv6 prefix 2001:DB8:ABBA:BEBE:/64 { AdvAutonomous off; # disallows clients to assign # IPv6 addresses by them self }; On the dhcp6 server, you can can simply enable to use privacy extensions (ISC dhcp /dhcpd6.conf): subnet6 2001:DB8:ABBA:BEBE:/64 { ... # (i.e., direct application of RFC 4941) range6 2001:DB8:ABBA:BEBE:/64 temporary; ... # ... ddns-updates on; ... } and even update the dns records automatically using the temp addr. Basically, enabling privacy extensions without to use them, does not make much sense. And yes, it is about (mobile) client systems. Without this setting, their would use their MAC address based IPv6 address by default. On systems which provide services, you have to actively configure the services anyway and you can either change the setting or also configure the service to use a specific address (static or mac bases when you like). What could be done is that pattern trigger to install rpm which provides them, that is: pattern laptop installs sysctl-enable-tempaddr.rpm pattern desktop installs sysctl-enable-tempaddr.rpm pattern server installs sysctl-disable-tempaddr.rpm or something like this... This would be IMO an improvement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
