[opensuse] IPv6 random addresses
In prior versions of openSUSE, both MAC address based and random number IPv6 addresses were available. With 13.1, I only have the MAC based address and don't see any method of enabling the random number address. This was possible in earlier versions. How can it be done now? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I've been adding this: net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0 to /etc/sysctl.conf. then reboot or issue "sysctl -p" to enter the change into the kernel. This used to work, I haven't really tested in 13.1 yet. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It doesn't appear to work in 13.1. In 12.3 and earlier, there was a setting in the Yast System Config editor. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I think the value is meant to be '2'. There used to be a config setting IPV6_PRIVACY, but I can't find it. In 11.4 it was used by /etc/init.d/boot.ipconfig. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - now also with dynamic DNS! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You're right, Per. I had to turn off private addresses, which is what the "0" did. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

2 doesn't work either. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
