Pekka Savola and I have released an updated version of radvd, the Linux
IPv6 router advertisement daemon.  Lars Fenneberg, the current maintainer
of radvd, has not responded to emails regarding patches for radvd, so we
have released a patched version of 0.6.2 which we named 0.6.2pl1.

Improvements include:

- Support for dynamic 6to4 prefixes
- Security fixes, including the option to drop root privileges at start
- Fixed signal handling
- Other misc bugfixes and cleanup

We provide version 0.6.2pl1 as a unified diff against the original source,
as a complete source package, and as RPMs for RedHat systems.

The distribution site for our version of radvd is:

http://v6web.litech.org/radvd/

Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.  -Nathan
