Uh, your sarcasms hurt my delicate soul. :-) I don't usually come here to whine. I've always kept my systems as default as possible. I've never written any article about OpenBSD. Obviously it's not about me and *that's the bad news*. Whether or not you're right about users in general, there are more than one OS out there with long tradition and experience in developing with the assumption users are a bunch of irresponsible idiots. And they count with a stronger infrastructure than yours. It's not clever to compete with those monsters using their same strategy.

I fail to see the insult, honestly, unless it's the insinuation that you might be a blog writer (which you say you aren't, so that should be ok). -- Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri, National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS), Uppsala University, Sweden.

OK. You assume I'm an asshole. > > You need it. And don't go writing some balony blog saying you don't > need it. I don't need blogs. :-) Look, I'm very happy with OpenBSD (*honestly*) in the technical as well as in the human aspect. The *only one* negative point I found till now in this project is your attitude. The next time you want to insult me do it in private, in that way you won't harm the project (taking in care the other people working hard on it).

Yes, absolutely. Otherwise one day you will configure up v6 on an interface and come whining about how your custom configuration isn't do inet6 boohoohoo. You need it. And don't go writing some balony blog saying you don't need it.
Do I need slaacd(8) up and running?
A question to the experts here. My home router (a crappy one provided by my ISP) has ipv6 disabled, at least it's what its guied configuration tells me. :-) And I have ipv6 disabled in all my LAN machines. The laptop I use with OpenBSD has slaacd(8) up and running by default, even when I didn't configure any interface to use ipv6 at install time. Under the above conditions, do I still need slaacd running?
