Yeah, I found this yesterday, seems I have some IPV6 directives in my
ifcfg-eth0 file, but not an IPV6FORWARDING=yes directive.  Looks like I
started to migrate some of my tunnel commands from /etc/rc.local to the
ifcfg-eth0 script, but didn't know about setting the IPV6FORWARDING
directive.  Looks like the code *is* the documentation....
