I confirm this. IPv6 privacy extensions were enabled by default in 12.04 (actually, I don't see this in the release notes, or in any other official documentation, but Internet search engines show "everyone" says so), and they were working in 12.10.
Testing with a fresh install of Kubuntu 13.04, my eth0 interface doesn't have a randomised address, only a link-local address, a global MAC-based address and a DHCP-allocated IPv4 address. /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf in 13.04 have been unchanged since 12.04. Putting net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 2 into 60-ipv6-privacy.conf or directly into /etc/sysctl.conf makes no difference, and even after a reboot /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/use_tempaddr is 0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174418 Title: Privacy Extensions are set by default on Ubuntu 13.04, but no temporary address will be generate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1174418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
