Description of problem:
When IPv6 is enabled (${NETWORKING_IPV6} is "yes"), the IPv6 router, radvd,
is NOT started.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
As root:
1.install radvd
2.enable ipv6 with
/etc/sysconfig/network line:
		NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
3.start radvd: /etc/init.d/radvd start
	

Actual Results:   # ps -ef |grep radvd |grep -v grep

Expected Results:   # ps -ef |grep radvd |grep -v grep
root      4980     1  0 May18 ?        00:00:00 radvd

Additional info:

In file /etc/init.d/radvd change this line with "&&" to "||":

# Check that networking is up.
#[ x${NETWORKING_IPV6} = "xyes" ] && exit 0
[ x${NETWORKING_IPV6} = "xyes" ] || exit 0

This was already fixed in Powertools errata.  Thanks for reporting anyway! :-)

I understand this fix has also been made in the "pl3" patch to
radvd-0.6.2. This patch, with numerous radvd bug fixes,
is by Nathan Lutchansky (lutchann) 
was released 4/28/2001 and is described and available from
http://v6web.litech.org/radvd/

The original radvd source by Lars Fennenberg (without these patches)
is at
ftp://ftp.cityline.net/pub/systems/linux/network/ipv6/radvd/
radvd is described by Lars at
