>Description:
When trying to start relayd 4.6 on a host without INET6 in the kernel, relayd exits with an error that I'm sadly unable to recall.


The error may have been with check_icmp.c in function icmp_setup() starting at line 54:
void
icmp_setup(struct relayd *env, struct ctl_icmp_event *cie, int af)
{
        int proto = IPPROTO_ICMP;

        if (af == AF_INET6)
                proto = IPPROTO_ICMPV6;
        if ((cie->s = socket(af, SOCK_RAW, proto)) < 0)
                fatal("icmp_init: socket");
        socket_set_blockmode(cie->s, BM_NONBLOCK);
        cie->env = env;
        cie->af = af;
}


This was present on 4.6, I can't confirm for 5.0 as the host now has INET6 compiled in the kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a 8.2-RELEASE box, build a custom kernel without INET6 support (disable IPv6).

Build relayd, try to start.
>Fix:
Not sure if this is an actual bug, or intended.
