revised patch
Thank you for submission. Please verify if attached version of patch works same way. It avoids exta forking and extra invocation of grep.
(In reply to Eugene Grosbein from comment #2) Thanks a lot for taking care and the more sophisticated patch, but I'm busy with completely unrelated stuff. Probably I'll be able to test by the end of this week. Thanks, -harry Is this problem still actual? Feedback timeout. Feel free to re-open or reply if the problem is still actual. ^Triage: Assign to committer that resolved and tidy up meta |
Created attachment 187704 [details] Make rc(8) respect "-auto_linklocal" flag for INET6 ifconfig ifconfig(8) can toggle automatic link-local address configuration per interface. net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal predefines the default setting, which is to set AUTO_LINKLOCAL on all interfaces. Users should be able to disable automatic link-local address configuration selectively, not only globally (by the mentioned sysctl). Basically, adding "-auto_linklocal" as rc.conf(5) ifconfig_IF_ipv6 parameter does disable AUTO_LINKLOCAL, but too late, because network.subr issues 'ifconfig inet -ifdisabled' before. Attach patch introduces check for -auto_linklocal at that point. -harry
