Hi all,
On an up-to-date F17 x86_64 box I was testing IPv6 and it was pointed
out that the IPv6 address that Fedora uses is traceable because it ends
in the MAC address of the nic. I don't like that and want to enable
privacy extensions which should replace the MAC address with some random
stuff in the IPv6 address.
I added the following to /etc/sysctl.d/ipv6_privacy_extensions and rebooted:
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.temp_prefered_lft = 7200
Unfortunately this does not work as I don't see an IPv6 address with
"scope global dynamic" and if I go to http://ip6.nl then it still shows
my IPv6 address with the MAC address in it.
Anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks,
Patrick
