I thought I had no machine with a global scope address,
but either I was unobservant or re-booting my server changed things.
In any way, I see that eth0 on my server (the interface to my ADSL modem)
does indeed have a global IPv6 address:
--------------------------------------
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:09:2B:75:2D
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: 2001:770:100:134::1/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::21d:9ff:fe2b:752d/64 Scope:Link
--------------------------------------
I can ping6 this address, but cannot ping6 google:
--------------------------------------
[tim@helen ~]$ ping6 -n -c2 2001:770:100:134::1
PING 2001:770:100:134::1(2001:770:100:134::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:770:100:134::1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.056 ms
64 bytes from 2001:770:100:134::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.065 ms
[tim@helen ~]$ ping6 -n ipv6.google.com
connect: Network is unreachable
[tim@helen ~]$ ping6 -n 2001:4860:a003::68
connect: Network is unreachable
--------------------------------------
I tried stopping shorewall temporarily ("sudo shorewall clear")
but this didn't affect the outcome.
I guess I have a lot of ipv6 reading to do ...
