From config.c: /* * Basically, hosts MUST NOT send Router Advertisement messages at any * time (RFC 2461, Section 6.2.3). However, it would sometimes be * useful to allow hosts to advertise some parameters such as prefix * information and link MTU. Thus, we allow hosts to invoke rtadvd * only when router lifetime (on every advertising interface) is * explicitly set zero. (see also the above section) */ if (val && forwarding == 0) { syslog(LOG_WARNING, "<%s> non zero router lifetime is specified for %s, " "which must not be allowed for hosts.", __FUNCTION__, intface); exit(1); } And, I believe the message goes to syslog in this case.
