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. Defaults matter.
Mathieu, why do you assume that enterprises will use DHCPv6? Some might for some of their networks, but it doesn't make sense for all use cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176125 Title: Ubuntu should activate the IPv6 privacy extension by default (echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
