I have an IPv6 setup with temporary addresses (RFC3041). To switch this on I used "sysctl 
net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr=1". The temporary address is generated and meanwhile expired. 

Does anybody know, when this address is expected to be regenerated?

My current interface configuration is
vlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet xxx.xxx.xx.xx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        inet6 fe80::211:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx%vlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
        inet6 2xxx:xxxx:xxxx:: prefixlen 64 anycast
        inet6 2xxx:xxxx:xxxx:0:211:2fff:xxxx:xxxx prefixlen 64
        inet6 2xxx:xxxx:xxxx:0:54b:5960:xxxx:xxxx prefixlen 64 deprecated autoconf temporary pltime 0 vltime 509995
I use FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE-200611090613.

Regards,
   Frank
