eui64 fills the lower 64 bits the same way auto-configuration does it. It has nothing to do with random. It basically allow you to specify the network and have the interface part filled for you. Like if you didn't want to run rtadvd(8) on your network. For me, that's how I give an real ipv6 address to the interface rtadvd is listening on. Not that I care about random data in the interface part. In fact, I would found it quite anoying if my ipv6 address were changing at every reboot. Like DNS wise. -- Hugo Villeneuve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://EINTR.net/
