Ah yes, I remember stumbling over this (or some similar problem) many years ago. Machines that are configured as routers/gateways, as well as multi-homed end-hosts, aren't supposed to use rtsol. Also, accept_rtadv is usually 0...I think that our IPv6 startup scripts toggle it to 1 just long enough to get a route advertisement and then set it back to 0. Bruce.
