My proposal is to enable it by > default, and give the user a knob in rc.conf to turn it off. the only drawback is that forward and reverse dns would not be easily filled. but anyone who relies on a mac address for dns hacking is asking for trouble; use dhcpv6 or hard code the host's ip address in /etc/rc.conf. so i have no problem with the change. thanks for asking. randy
