Re: m0n0wall bug(?) when using IPv6

Hi list,

unfortunately the problem described in my e-mail quoted below still
persists. To sum up, after rebooting m0n0wall, my outgoing IPv6 connection
attempts are not block_ only_if_ I edit and "Apply" the IPv6 LAN rules,
although I do _not_ actually change anything. If I do not follow this
procedure, my IPv6 connection attempts are blocked. I verify at the
Firewall logs the blocked connection attempts.

Any help will be highly appreciated. status.php file is available, if
requested.

Best
