When Privacy Extensions are not enabled, systems that are static in a network always get the same address (i.e. the host part), derived from the MAC address. This makes it possible, in a small network, to use these addresses to communicate with each other, without the need for a DHCP6 and/or DNS server. With Privacy Extension always enabled, the IPv6 address changes each least each 24 hours, which makes it difficult to communicate without additional services that keep track of these changing addresses. -- 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.
