Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, Now that I have several machines running FreeBSD 4.0, I started to play with IPv6. It's fun! I have plans to set up a v6-over-v4 tunnel and connect to the 6Bone. I read /usr/share/examples/IPv6/USAGE, /usr/share/doc/IPv6/IMPLEMENTATION and some documents at the KAME web site. However, I still have to figure out how to assign a not-link-local address (i.e., a site or global address) to the [unique] Ethernet interface of each host in an automatic manner (from /etc/rc.conf). After reading /etc/rc.network6 I concluded that no addresses apart from the link-local ones are assigned to the interfaces. I am using ifconfig manually to do this (BTW, I found that there is no need to specify "alias"). I am new to IPv6, so maybe I am asking for something with no sense... My congratulations to the IPv6 team. Great job!
