gw6c stores received server keys in the file 'gw6ckeys.pub' in the current working directory. When launched using the init script, this is / causing a file to be written to the root directory. I'd have written a patch but I'm not sure what the correct solution is, whether the source should be patched to write somewhere sensible, or if the init script should just change directory. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure gw6 to connect to some IPv6 gateway 2. /etc/init.d/gw6c start Actual Results: gw6ckeys.pub is written to / Expected Results: gw6ckeys.pub should be written to somewhere sensible.

start-stop-daemon has an option for initial chdir, I'll update the init script to start in /var/lib/gateway6 (where broker list and last server used files already end up)
Init script updated in portage, I've also added a revision bump to 6.0 so everyone gets the fix (6.0-r1 is next stable candidate then now) Thanks for the bugreport and indications!
