Summary:

The rtsol(8) command does not send an IPv6 Router Advertisement packet.

Steps to reproduce:

On a machine attached to an IPv6-enabled network,

1) Open a Terminal window.
2) Run `sudo rtsol -d en0`

Expected Results:

(From a FreeBSD 7.0 machine):

# rtsol -d en0
checking if en0 is ready...
en0 is ready
send RS on en0, whose state is 2
received RA from fe80::205:85ff:fe30:141f on en0, state is 2
OtherConfigFlag on en0 is turned on 
stop timer en0
there is no timer

Actual Results:

$ sudo rtsol -d en0
rtsol: kernel is configured not to accept RAs
checking if en0 is ready...
en0 is ready
shutdown: Socket is not connected
rtsol: failed to setup for probing router

Regression:

N/A

Notes:

N/A

Comments

the reason of fail is in shutdown() function. You can easy remove this call and don't break the functionality of rtsold.
