It's only recently that I didn't have privacy addresses. I don't recall setting them on earlier versions. In fact, when I first started running IPv6 8.5 years ago, I was wondering why I had them. ISTR - in the beginning, ipv6 privacy addressses were off by default. Then it was made the default, good for privacy. (may be related to a Heise c't article from 2011). I think it was then reverted to no privacy, and I'm 95% certain it was NFS related. Or some other service that expects an address not to change. There might even be a bug report.
I don't run NFS here anymore. However, when connecting to servers, you use the MAC based address, as it doesn't change. Privacy addresses are used only for outgoing connections. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
