Hi

I am new to FreeBSD but have used BSD since 20 years back=E2=80=A6

In the man-page for rc.conf I can see=E2=80=A6

=E2=80=94snip--
ipv6_gateway_enable
                (bool) The IPv6 equivalent of gateway_enable.
=E2=80=94snip=E2=80=94

and=E2=80=A6

=E2=80=94snip--
 gateway_enable
                (bool) If set to "YES", configure host to act as an IP
                router, e.g. to forward packets between interfaces.
=E2=80=94snip=E2=80=94


If this is equal to set net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=3D1 in sysctl.conf it woul=
d for
clarification be a good thing to mention in the man-page for rc.conf that t=
his
is an alternate way of setting this sysctl setting. A simple small parentes=
is
containing "Equal to set net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=3D1 in sysctl.conf" would=
 be
good.
