Summary: Settings to /proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/conf/all are not propagated Product: Networking Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.24-rc1 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Other AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected]Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.22 (not sure)
Distribution: custom
Hardware Environment: See attached files
Software Environment: See attached files.
Problem Description: Changing a setting in /proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/conf/all does not propagate the setting to the individual network interfaces, for most settings.Steps to reproduce:
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/{all,default,lo,eth0}/autoconf 1 1 1 1 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/autoconf # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/{all,default,lo,eth0}/autoconf 0 0 1 1

The problem occurs for other settings than "autoconf", but not for all. "forwarding" is one which does work.
Changing settings for individual interfaces still works.
The problem is not specific to ipv6.
Apparently a regression.

I would say it is a bug, but it is not a regression. I mean, I believe this "bug" lives since 2.2.
