Package: radvd
Version: 1:0.7.3-1
Severity: normal
According to radvd.conf(5), I can configure radvd to continue if a
particular interface is unavailable at start time (IgnoreIfMissing).
In the case that it becomes available, I should arrange to have radvd
receive SIGHUP.
This message is logged when I try "/etc/init.d/radvd reload":

Jul 23 03:31:30 turing radvd[22317]: can't join ipv6-allrouters on eth-apo
Jul 23 03:31:30 turing radvd[22317]: syntax error in config file:
/etc/radvd.conf
What strikes me as odd is that I hadn't modified radvd.conf between
the times that I started it and sent it SIGHUP. If there was a syntax
error, shouldn't it have bombed on startup?
This system in particular is a little esoteric; it's x86_64, has "-"
in all interface names, and runs Xen. A recipe for disaster, I must
concede.
I installed the same version--the latest available in Sarge--on an
i386 host. I took a fragment of my original radvd.conf and reduced it
to the following:
interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix 2002:c6ca:19fb:800::/64
{
};
};
This is very close to the distributed "simple" example configuration
file:

{
AdvSendAdvert on;
- prefix 2001:db8::/32

};
Again, it starts, but still insists there must be a syntax error when
it gets SIGHUP:

[Jul 23 03:59:37] radvd: syntax error in config file: /etc/radvd.conf
The message "can't join ipv6-allrouters" seems fairly unusual. I
found very few references to it on the WWW, other than a reference to
a bug in an old version.
On a hunch, I realized I'd seen "ipv6-allrouters" somewhere before.
Something similar is listed in /etc/hosts:
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
I tried adding "ipv6-allrouters" as an alias, at the end of that line,
but got the same result.
In closing, they don't call it stateless autoconfiguration for
nothing: my workaround is to simply restart radvd whenever an
interface state changes. No messages regarding ipv6-allrouters. No
bogus syntax errors. IgnoreIfMissing does prove to work--it starts,
even if an interface is unavailable, and hosts on the network are
picking up autoconfigured addresses.

Ten years later is 2.15 out.
Closing this bug report.
