Dear All

Sorry to bother you with some stupid, however urgent, questions.

I was asked to modify the ND Router Solicitation and ND Router
Advertisement message based on the IPv6 implantation on Red Hat 7.1 . 

I found the radvd which sends out the ND_RA messages. I also found that
in ndisc.c, the ND_RS will be generated and send out. However, after I
rewrite the codes, with radvdump, I can see the change I made to the
ND_RA. 

What I have done is simple, whenever the radvd-deamon receives a ND_RS,
it will log to a file. However, it seems the ND_RS messages are never
sent out. My project requires me to send out the ND_RS whenever I want.
So, my question is how the user is able to let the system send out a
ND_RS whenever he wants? I am new to Linux, sorry for my ignorant. 

Thank you

Richard
