Hi,
A new version of radvd has been released. There have been a couple of
new features.
Interfaces must now be RUNNING, not just UP, to be considered by
default radvd configuration. This is because nowadays kernels no
longer generate v6 link-local addresses if the interface is just UP,
in contrast to e.g., what earlier kernels did.
I'd like issue special thanks to Jim Paris for all the patches he has
sent :-).
Get it at: http://www.litech.org/radvd/
Changes since 1.0:
* Implement privilege separation on Linux: a master root process
(which is able to reconfigure interfaces) and the main process. There
is '-s' toggle to keep old behaviour.
* Fix Linux retrans_timer on old kernels (newer ones have
retrans_timer_ms)
* Fix stderr+syslog (default) logging on non-i386 platforms.
* Require that interface must be RUNNING instead of just UP. Note:
this could break deployments with very old kernels.
* Implement automatic interface address advertising with special
prefix ::/64.
* Relax interface naming (e.g. with VLANs) requirements.
* Fix ordering of route, prefix and RDNSS options (only matters
with RDNSS)
