I do agree with that. In fact, one of my locally patched copies of libvirt does just that — doesn’t touch the sysctls at all. If I really don’t want to accept RA’s, I can set net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0 (or specifically for the interface).
However, I do also recognise that the bug report and suggestion was written by Peter Bieringer, who wrote the IPv6 tutorial for Linux, and knows a tad more about IPv6 than I do, so out of respect I hesitated to subvert his bug’s original intent. -- IPv6 shouldn’t be disabled by default in libvirt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
