MPD do not respect my configuration in sysctl.conf, only the one in
rc.conf. To test:

* put net.inet.ip.forwarding and net.inet6.ip6.forwarding = 1 in sysctl.conf
* put gateway_enable="YES" in rc.conf
* connect to PPTP server

You will see that net.inet.ip.forwarding, after PPTP connection are
stablished, remains 1, but net.inet6.ip6.forwarding goes to 0!

Is that behaviour expected?

Am I worng when setting a router without gateway_enable="YES" in rc.conf
but with net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 in sysctl.conf?

Thank you,
Raimundo Santos
