debian lenny no ipv6 forward



Hello,

I cannot get radvd to work out of the box because ipv6 forward is disabled
-----<quote>---------------
linbobo:/var/log# /etc/init.d/radvd start
Starting radvd:
* IPv6 forwarding seems to be disabled.
* See /usr/share/doc/radvd/README.Debian
* radvd will *not* be started.
linbobo:/var/log#
-----<quote>---------------

However in sysctl.conf in sysctl.conf I have:
-----<quote>---------------
linbobo:~# grep ipv6 /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
#net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
#net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
linbobo:~#
-----<quote>---------------

And still...
-----<quote>---------------
linbobo:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
0
-----<quote>---------------

Even after several reboot with different firewall settings and other things it still does not work as it should. Nothing in dmesg or syslog about why the ipv6 forward is still off.
Anyone any idea what I need to look into?

What DOES work is starting it manualy:
-----<quote>---------------
linbobo:/var/log# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
linbobo:/var/log# /etc/init.d/radvd start
Starting radvd: radvd.
-----<quote>---------------
After that I can do an ipconfig /renew on my Windows PC and get the proper ipv6 address and I can do a proper ipv6 ping to a ipv6 site.

What could be the cause for the sysctl.conf line not to be properly executed? This is simply the default line which I have enabled.
