    etc/rc.d             auto_linklocal 
  Log:
  MFC:
   Add a link-local address to the lo0 even when ipv6_enable="NO".
  
   A kernel with INET6 always has ::1 on lo0, so in the case of
   ipv6_enable="NO" the lo0 can have ::1 with no link-local address.
   This is a violation of the IPv6 specification.  As a workaround for
   this situation, fe80::1 is added in rc.d/auto_linklocal when lo0 has
   no link-local address.  This should not be harmful for IPv4-only users.
