Hi

I am new to FreeBSD but have used BSD since 20 years back…

In the man-page for rc.conf I can see…

—snip--
ipv6_gateway_enable
                (bool) The IPv6 equivalent of gateway_enable.
—snip—

and…

—snip--
 gateway_enable
                (bool) If set to "YES", configure host to act as an IP
                router, e.g. to forward packets between interfaces.
—snip—


If this is equal to set net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 in sysctl.conf it would for
clarification be a good thing to mention in the man-page for rc.conf that this
is an alternate way of setting this sysctl setting. A simple small parentesis
containing "Equal to set net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 in sysctl.conf" would be
good.
