You have been subscribed to a public bug:
I am trying IPv6 and I want to activate the privacy address mechanism.
I have read everywhere to add "net.ipv6.conf.eth1.use_tempaddr=2" to
/etc/sysctl.conf.
What I did. I tried a "sysctl -p" followed by "ifconfig eth1 down" and
"ifconfig eth1 up".
This worked like a charm.
But after a reboot, the value of
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/use_tempaddr is always 0.
I tried to add those lines :
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=2
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr=2
to /etc/sysctl.conf, but nothing to do, after a reboot, the value of
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/use_tempaddr is always 0.
So I could write a script to make "sysctl -p; ifconfig eth1 down;
ifconfig eth1 up", but I think there is a bug somewhere no ?
