Well, to be honest, I haven't kept up with it once I decided it wasn't going to work. As I remember (and this is back before systemd, and you could still control everything from the /etc/rc<n>.d files very easily), I put a little script in /etc/init.d and did the macchanger thing before I allowed the network to connect to anything. If the network turned off, then it would randomize when it turned on. I don't remember it reverting, but I may have just not been paying attention (or have forgotten in the haze of time -- it's amazing to me how quickly one forgets little sysadmin tricks when one stops doing it all the time). I never dealt with VMs except for running Windows in Virtualbox, so I am clueless there... ... though I am getting interested again playing with qubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
