	the basic suggestion is, as documented in rtadvd(8), do not have
	rtadvd.conf and let rtadvd(8) determine what prefix to be advertised
	from interface configuration in the kernel.  use rtadvd.conf only when
	you are sure really about it.

>   :maxinterval#4:mininterval#3:rltime#60:

	there's a typo: pltime#30, not pltime:30.  maybe it is the cause?
