http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494958 Summary: IPV6_PRIVACY (use_tempaddr) does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: georgmueller@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032600 SUSE/3.0.8-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.8 I am using radvd on the server for IPv6 auto-configuration. I want to hide my MAC address (using use_tempaddr=1 sysctl setting). IPV6_PRIVACY in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl is set to "yes" and /var/log/boot.msg contains the statement "Enabling IPv6 privacy" from /etc/init.d/boot.ipconfig. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set IPV6_PRIVACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl 2. reboot 3. check IPv6 address I tried to add 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr' but this does not help either. Actual Results: "sysctl -a | grep use_tempaddr" results in: net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0 net.ipv6.conf.lo.use_tempaddr = -1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 0 use_tempaddr for eth0 is 0 and my IPv6 address contains my MAC address. Expected Results: net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr should be 1 and my IPv6 address should not contain my MAC address. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
