No, not seen anywhere in Linux or *BSD. we (ISC) asked KAME about this, and they suggested: % cat /etc/start_if.nge0 ifconfig nge0 inet6 fe80::1 ...which for freebsd 5.2.1 at least, has the right effect. rtsol still runs, and once the upper 64 bits are known, the obvious thing happens: % ifconfig nge0 | grep :: inet6 fe80::1%nge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet6 2001:4f8:3:bb::1 prefixlen 64 autoconf ...so it's not as easy as the solaris "token" thing described earlier in this thread, but it actually works fine and it's become universal on ISC's hosts. -- Paul Vixie
