Subject: Set default value of DecrementTTL to "no".
X-Git-Tag: release-1.0.18~9
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b5e3bf1a85462f0c41638c11305d28f87af24395;p=oweals%2Ftinc.git

Set default value of DecrementTTL to "no".

Decrementing the TTL causes IPv6 to fail when Mode = switch, and there may be
other unforeseen side-effects.
