Hi, I'm currently struggling to find a sane way to set net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr. Traditionally at some point during boot "sysctl -e -q -p /etc/sysctl.conf" is called. That doesn't really work out anymore. The aforementioned setting needs to be applied after the ipv6 module is loaded (could be compiled into the kernel too though) otherwise it wouldn't apply. It needs to be set before a network driver is loaded though as the default value is copied to interfaces specific settings at interface creation time. On top of that there are also network interface specific sysctls that need to be applied after an interface is created (e.g. net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr). Are there any plans to better deal with that? Like e.g. emitting events when some part of the kernel registers a sysctl so userspace can override the compiled in default value? Or just offer sysfs attributes instead of sysctls? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
