Hi,
Currently, rtadvd_enable's default is YES. It means that IPv6 router
runs rtadvd(8) by default.
This breaks the following description in RFC2461:
AdvSendAdvertisements
A flag indicating whether or not the router sends
periodic Router Advertisements and responds to
Router Solicitations.
Default: FALSE
Note that AdvSendAdvertisements MUST be FALSE by
default so that a node will not accidentally start
acting as a router unless it is explicitly
configured by system management to send Router
Advertisements.
So, I'll change default value of rtadvd_enable to NO, soon. If you
are running rtadvd(8) in your IPv6 router, please make sure to set
rtadvd_enable to YES in your /etc/rc.conf.
