See https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/slaacd/slaacd.h#rev1.2: --- We are going to start slaacd(8) much earlier, before /var is even mounted. Move control socket to /dev for now. Input & OK deraadt@ --- There are not that many places where we can put the control socket that early in the boot process. Also https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/etc/rc#rev1.501 The idea is to have working v6 as early as possible so that daemons like ntpd and unbound can use it. We have not succeded fully though. ntp tends to ignore v6 if it's not available when ntp comes up but you later get v6. This might actually be a problem that needs to be fixed in ntpd.
