Attached is a systemd service file for radvd. It performs the same functions as the runscript. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 328550 [details] service file Creates the PID directory with proper permissions in /var/run as systemd destroys these during reboot. Enables and disables ipv6 forwarding. Pipes logging to the journal. Supports configuration reloading. Limits the size of new files to 8, since the pid is usually only 4. I set the CPU scheduling policy to to idle as I presume these router announcements are not extremely time sensitive, but I would certainly defer judgment on that to a more qualified dev.

Thanks for your contribution, i see two points: The OpenRC version can be configured to toggle the ipv6 forwarding state or leave it alone. I consider this an regression on the systemd version. Personally, I think it's an bad idea at all, I don't want my ipv6 connectivity to go down eery time i restart radvd. Is it possible to preserve the old freedom? Would it be possible to use the radvd -n (no-daemon) option to avoid the pid-file? (I have absolutely no intention looking into the details of systemd) Michael

There is a straightforward warning that gets logged if forwarding is disabled, so I think it'd be reasonable to just delegate forwarding to firewall init. So now no PID, no forwarding resonsibility. I also set the FSIZE rlimit to zero, as I don't see radvd creating any files now.
