Bug#968252: gai.conf should mention ip addrlabel
Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.31-3
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6
Hi,
it looks like the label values set in the gai.conf file are ignored.
Instead, the values configured in the live kernel via ip addrlabel are
used.
It might be possible that there is some magic at bootup reading gai.conf
and poking the content in the kernel, but in the running system it looks
like ip addrlabel is the way to do configuration.
This should be properly reflected in the comments inside the gai.conf
file that comes with libc-bin.
Greetings
Marc
