Or use Shorewall. I find it easier to understand than yast.
I thought Shorewall was just a firewall. All the usual tools for IPv6, such as DHCP are missing. For example, I'm currently trying to figure out how to use dhcp6 to send the IPv6 address for my DNS server to devices that don't use static configuration.
The thread was going in the direction of iptables (firewall/router) stuff. If it somehow went off on a dhcp tangent, I apologize for missing that fact.
Right now, if a device relies on DHCP for IPv4, then it can only get the IPv4 address. Just adding option dns_servers to dhcp6.conf and starting the dhcp6 server doesn't seem to do the trick. IPv6 has been in use for years and becoming more popular. In a few years, it will be essential. It would be nice if the tools to properly use it were available.
BTW, is there an dhcp6 routers option? I can't seem to find one.
