I wonder whether our IPv6 settings are the right ones after reading the following article (sorry, German only):

which references: http://www.heise.de/netze/hotline/IPv6-anonym-1100727.html
We set use_tempaddr to 0 by default (disabling privacy extensions) and set it to 1 if enabled. The article advises to use 2.
Background: By default (value 0) my IPv6 address will be derived from my hardware (macaddr) and therefore be the same independend how I connect to the internet. So, it's easy to track my computer...
Disclaimer: I probably don't know enough about IPv6 to really comment here, but nevertheless - I can see this issue might be relevant for people with 6rd or 6to4 tunnels, but apart from free.fr, it seems that neither one is being mass-deployed? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
