As my previous patch (msgid 20210410140417.19505-1-anton@xxxxxxxxxxx) was rejected because it added an option that only took effect on Linux, I am submitting a stripped-down version that does not add any new options. Hopefully this is more acceptable for inclusion. >8-------------------------------------------------------------------- When both public and temporary IPv6 addresses can be used to reach a given server, it makes sense for the SSH client to prefer the public ones, since - temporary addresses are typically short-lived, which breaks long-running connections - certain OpenSSH features (like from=... in authorized_keys or Match Address/Host in sshd_config) depend on the client connecting from a predictable address - since SSH is an authenticated protocol, it rarely makes sense for the client to hide its identity from the server Uses the socket options defined in RFC5014, which are currently only implemented on Linux.
