Description Pekka.Nikander 2000-11-16 08:10:01 UTC

By default, ifconfig sets zero lifetime for added IPv6 addresses.
With never versions of KAME (recent snap), this causes the 
address to be deprecated almost immediately.  The enclosed patch
changes the default lifetime to infinity, and adds options for
defining vltime and dltime.  Unfortunately, the patch DOES NOT
include the necessary changes to the manual page.

Fix: Apply the following patch.
