    Hello everyone,

    1) Is there a "decent" place where one may specify default route for IPv6?

    I am doing this with a script of my own, but I wonder if there is any special
    file for this purpose (like /etc/defaultrouter for IPv4).

    Assumptions: no in.ndpd (no /etc/inet/ndpd.conf), no IPv6-enabled router on the LAN.

    I had a quick look at startup scripts and it seems that there is no such place,
    but maybe I am missing something.

    2) Did anyone encounter this?

    t_connect(): System error

    It happens when I configure IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel (/etc/hostname6.ip.tun* file +
    reboot). The tunnel itself works quite well, but the side-effect is like above.
    ttsession fails and I cannot launch CDE which makes the system unusable from my
    point of view.

    IPv6 is enabled only on the tunnel interface. Ethernet interfaces are purely IPv4.

    3) I would like to apply some filters for IPv6 traffic on the _host_ (like ipf
    for IPv4). What are my options? Any free solutions? Any stateful solutions?

    4) Is there a better place to ask such questions? :)

    Cheers.
