current ipv6 initscripts diffs
I hope I get some time next week to look at your modifications. Thanks for your work! My new "homebase" which will get a IPv6 tunnel is RH 7.1 so this is a good test base. :-> Created attachment 22026 [details]
the latest version of the diff, for reference
Added in 6.02-1, thanks! |
Several IPv6 upgrades have been pending for a while now, so here goes. Major enhancements: * 6to4 automatic tunneling supported (with this, anyone can connect to ipv6 internet without tunnel brokers like freenet6.net, and connect their LAN too!) * way of dynamically configuring obtained 6to4 prefix (dynamic IP's) and advertising it in LAN with radvd (ip-{up,down].ipv6to4). * iproute is used for building tunnels instead of ifconfig (with ifconfig, all tunnels had to illogically use "virtual" interface sit0; among other things) Cleanups: * IPV6INIT is not checked at shutdown (so you can actually disable interfaces too) * Tighter IPv6 forwarding requirements * bash semantics: 'function xxx() {}' -> 'xxx() {}' * bash: use 'local' in some variables for not to pollute namespace * disable loopback special casing. * separate functions for address validity checks * sure forgot some... Of course, also includes updates howto's and documentation changes. * remove debugging 'usage' functions. At the moment, only bigger open issue is integrating 'ipv6calc' utility in initscripts too. Diff attached. .src.rpm is also available at http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/ipv6/. Comments on the approach etc. welcome. :-)
