Hi, I recently got a new modem/router from my ISP that supports IPv6. Added ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" and rtsold_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf like the handbook says and now all my FreeBSD systems have an IPv6 address. \o/ I also added these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf to enable temporary addresses: net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr=1 net.inet6.ip6.prefer_tempaddr=1 Shouldn't these be enabled by default? There was a proposal 9 years ago that didn't get any objections but it seems it wasn't committed: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2008-June/018381.html If there are no objections, I'll make the change in a week or so.
