>Description:
	With rtsold=YES, several network using daemons are started before
	rtsold.  These might immediately try to use their ipv6 sockets before
	rtsold has run and configured interface(s).  A particular example is
	ntpd, which prefers ipv6 if available and immediately queries its
	configured servers.  The result is ``no route ...'' errors from sendto().
	Of course this is a problem with ntpdate too, and probably others.
>How-To-Repeat:
	On IPv6 autoconfigured host setup ntpd with servers that have IPv6
	addresses.  Reboot and see ntpd print errors.
>Fix:
	Consider changing the `REQUIRE' and `BEFORE' keys in rc.d/rtsold to
	those used in rc.d/dhclient, which is started at a useful place in the
	order.
