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.
