there is way more to it than "the default". there is no easy way to get rid of ipvshit completely, short of recompiling w/o option INET6. every interface you take up has that linklocal shit, unless you give -inet6 for each and every one every time, which is very easy to miss. thus I do think we want a net.inet6.ip.enable sysctl or the like, which, if not set to 1, enforces -inet6 on all ifs. what the default of such a sysctl would be is another discussion - any value is fine with me as long as it is 0. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services GmbH, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services.
