Additionally, x200-my will delete <code>/etc/dhcpcd.duid</code>, which will make <code>dhcpcd</code> generate a new DUID-LLT based file with an updated timestamp and the spoofed link-layer address of the network interface that is connected to the DHCP device at the time that the DUID is generated.</p> 28<p>It also provides a “Privacy settings” section: if <code>enable_privacy</code> is set to <code>true</code>, then the wired internet interface that may or may not be connected to the internet will have its MAC address spoofed at startup.
