Subject: cannot assign IPv6 address to dummy interface
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 12:13:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110925101300.GA3316@torres.zugschlus.de> (raw)
Hi,
this is a locally compiled vanilla 3.0.4 kernel on Debian sid.
$ uname -a
Linux swivel 3.0.4-zgws1 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 24 12:34:50 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ ip addr show dev dummy0

Why is root not allowed to assign an IPv6 address to a dummy interface?
Greetings
