Hi,
more and more linux-distributors switch on privacy extensions by
default. In my LAN I have router advertisements on because of
dynamically configured mobile devices. But I also have PCs with static
addresses. Unfortunately sysctl-rules catch some seconds to late. So the
NFS-configuration fails, afterwards postfix fails and so on.
My question is: Is there a kernel boot option to disable SLAAC
completely or at least the
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr
This varies by distro. For example, see the related recent discussion on
disabling autoconf in Ubuntu (and RHEL)
Basically, a lot of the IPv6 networking scripts on Linux are hacky
bolt-ons (with the greatest of respect to those who wrote them!). They
often trample over global sysctl settings, and often run *after*
link-up, which might be too late to disable certain options.
Which distro are you on?
