Hello

i'm looking for clarification on some /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ entries  
for firewalling. From what i have read a setting of for example  
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf -> 0 should set this value for  
all interfaces? But when i do "sysctl -a" to check the value all  
interface related entries are still autoconf->1. Is this expected  
behavior or a bug? Does it only apply after reboot or what have i  
missed? This is Ubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32) with iptables 1.4.4.

Many Thanks

Andreas
