https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717774 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717774#c0 Summary: More support for IPv6 parameters in YaST Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Milestone 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2 The standard in openSUSE 12.1 M5 on privacy using IPv6 is now that each so many minutes a new IPv6 source address will be generated and that stateless autoconfiguration always will be used. A report has been seen that long standing connections suffer from these settings. This requires more control on these settings, which should be available in YaST, Network Devices, probably in Global Options or more advanced both in Global Options and individual device settings. This is about YaST generating /etc/sysconfig/network/ifsysctl and /etc/sysconfig/network/ifsysctl- defining the parameters use_tempaddr and the one that controls the use of stateless autoconfiguration. Obviously disabling stateless autoconfiguration should imply the use of a fixed address or the use of DHCP6.
