This effectively means that ifconfig will show after a week at least 7 IPv6 addresses and only the last one can be used to access your system. E.g. you define a static IPv4 address but IPv6 changes all the time. Makes administration impossible as te address is not available aymore. The line added to the sysctl file prevents the use of dynamic addresses -- e.g. stops the privacy extensions of IPv6. -- 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.
