No, you can enable per interface SLAAC on 2.6.32 as well. It's just a little more convoluted than setting accept_ra=2. I have added this to a /etc/ppp/ipv6-up.d/local script: #!/bin/sh # need to disable forwarding to receive RAs sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.$PPP_IFACE.forwarding=0 Note that this only enables RA acceptance on the interface. It does *not* disable forwarding of IPv6 packets. That's controlled by the global net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding variable, and ip6tables rules. It's all a bit weird, which I assume is why the accept_ra=2 was introduced. Bjørn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
