[Devil-linux-develop] ipv6 script

[francois d. <Fra...@ir...>]

I'm writing my script so that ipv6 addresses are put in the ifcfg-ethxxx=20
files. In redhat, they put a AUTOCONF variable, but i jsut saw this :

/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/autoconf

which is set to 1. What is the exact purpose of this variable? When I sta=
rt=20
the devil, it doesn't autoconf my interfaces.... Is it yet fonctionnal? I=
f=20
not, will it? Because if it does work then it's going to conflict my scip=
t :D

I've asked Google and it finds this:
   http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%2Fproc%2Fsys%2Fnet%2Fipv6%2Fconf%2Feth0%2Fautoconf
   http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%2Fproc%2Fsys%2Fnet%2Fipv6%2Fconf%2Feth1%2Fautoconf

But as I've never used IPv6 before I can't tell what's it all about.
