ospf6d started more or less as a copy of ospfd, and this is obviously a leftover in the manpage. dead_interval in parse.y is of type u_int32_t in ospfd and u_int16_t (65535) in ospf6d. The commit logs explains this: "The router dead_interval switched from 32bit to a 16bit value in OSPFv3." I looked at this only out of curiosity and I'm not a dev, nor do I know much about ospfd. So take this with caution :-) Cheers Robert
