Maybe it does, Felix, and While I'm a diehard debian fan, if you want to
use a pi to do something, the "fix" is in the pi versions of the OS where
it belongs, By putting it in the bottom of /etc/dhcpdcp.conf with the
comment immediately above it stating that its for the case of a dhcp
failure, fill in the correct data for a static network. And restart
networking. If you didn't muck it up typing it in, its a one stop fix.
Copy in your local hosts file, hostname, sudo set your domainname, and
your resolv.conf And its totally sensible. Its what to do if there is not
a dhcp server on the local network. But that makes entirely too much
sense, so nobody else does it. :-{> There is one other thing about the
pi's I like. Uptimes are from power failure to power failure, and I have
a small ups and a 20kw standby in the back yard that delivering power in
about 5 seconds after the lights go out. If I wasn't putzing with it,
uptimes would be a couple years. I can't say that for any wintel box
running debian here.
Take care Felix, and stay well.

bind9 slave sending notifies
I'm using BIND 9.16.22-Debian (Extended Support Version)
The problem is when I restart I see "sending notifies" in the log.
I have checked the configuration named.conf.local and named.conf.options
and there is no 'allow-transfer' in the configuration.
example named.conf.local entry:
zone "lan" {
type slave;
file "db.lan";
masters { 192.0.2.1; };
allow-query {any;};
};
So is sending notifies with no-one to notify normal?
If not, how do I stop it?

Hello, On Wed, Mar 23, 2022 at 05:11:31AM +0800, Jeremy Ardley wrote: > How can I make my system and/or thunderbird use the constantly changing > dynamic IPv6 address instead? If you add your static address with a preferred_lft of 0 then it will be marked as "deprecated" which means it will never be chosen as a source address unless forced to be. It will still be fully usable in all other senses. In /etc/network/interfaces: iface eth0 inet6 static address 2001:db8:1:2::3 netmask 64 post-up ip addr change 2001:db8:1:2::3/64 dev $IFACE preferred_lft 0 Also, longest prefix will be selected as source address, so if you add a /128 that will tend to be used. The full rules for IPv6 source address selection are in RFC 6724… which does say that temporary addresses should be preferred by default, so I'm not sure why that's not happening for you. It may depend on the value of the sysctl /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/use_tempaddr. If that is 1 then temporary addresses will be available but not forced to be used. >1 means they are preferred, so it might be that. Finally, you can also override it with a route entry: # ip -6 route change default src 2001:db8:1:2::3 or for a specific net # ip route add 2001:db8:99::/48 via src 2001:db8:1:2::3 Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
