--disable-eui Enable use of ARP / MAC/ EUI (ether address)

in configure script, I found the subject line...

disable = enable? I think thats a "dyslogicism"...

am regoing through config options to set the default user correctly and turn
off some things I'm not using (rather than turning on the world (hey, I
like the
world...but...maybe it will run faster (ok....microseconds will be
insignificant
compared to my line speed!)... I read on /. that 'sands, Utah" had
highest average
broadband at 33Mbps (but it was capped at 200K/month at that speed, not sure
what that's worth!) Still if it was always 1st 200K, then down to half
that speed,
that'd be ok... still >5 times faster than my DSL...:-)

Regarding config -- and pinger...something is "off" there.

I tried running squid as root (and put user squid back in squid.conf)...and
it still couldn't open pinger. Does it not open pinger before it drops
privs?

I checked, and default suse install doesn't install pinger with suid
root (in 11.1 or
11.2). Is that expected/needed?

I don't think my pinger was ever working if that's the case unless squid
started
pinger before dropping privs...strange -- it doesn't appear to do that with
current release...

So is this disabled-eui = enabled, enabled or disabled by default?

I'm guessing it's for ACL control? EUI? ?!? (Another TLA I don't
know...)
IPV6? Wireless?
