[Bug 176125] Re: Ubuntu should activate the IPv6 privacy extension by default (echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr)

2009-04-10 Thread Derek Morr
RFC 4941, Section 3.6, says that temporary addresses should be disabled by default. Speaking from an enterprise network perspective, I very much do *not* want to see privacy addresses enabled by default, as they can make complying with our network security policies much more difficult. -- Ubuntu

I frankly couldn't care less if someone knows my MAC address. The MAC address of the laptop I'm typing on right now is 00:1e:c2:c0:52:e3. What does that get you? Not much. If you're concerned about being tracked across the Internet, your IP address is probably the least of your concerns. Have you

My enterprise is a large research university in North America. We control University owned machines, but student-owned machines are a different matter. I'm not certain that filtering privacy addresses at the border is sufficient. I'd need to check with our security office, but I suspect we'd also

Philipp, That's not what I said (that's what tonfa said in reply to my note). At many higher education institutions, we have policies that we need to know who is using any given IP address at any point in time. Privacy addresses make this much, much harder. Yes, we can disable them on managed mach

Erik, the issue isn't access control. It's logging and compliance. If someone uses our network to break the law, we need to be able to identify the responsible person. Privacy addresses are directly at odds with this requirement. Leaving them off by default isn't a 100% solution, but it helps a lot
