Have activated the privacy extensions on a dual stack (native) ipv6 configuration. A random local address is generated for each boot (for eth0). I'd like to be able to change it within a session.
ip -6 address flush dev eth0; followed by /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart; will generate a new random address ("global temporary dynamic") - but one time only. So the question becomes, how could I do this repeatedly within a session? (ISTM there is a variable somewhere that limits the number of regenerations allowed - perhaps that could be tweaked? Alternatively, perhaps I could configure the /etc/conf.d/net script to assign a local ipv6 net address using random numbers generated within the net script? I'm a newbie, and would appreciate any corrections, flames and especially examples) TIA
