Yeah... I guess no one would ever use IPv6 with OSPF until IPv6 feature
sets are completely matured on all platforms of every major vendor. Or
maybe no vendor should release any v6 support until every feature was
100% v6 enabled.

I guess I will disable IPv6 OSPF auth for now, what good is it anyways
right? ;)

Thanks for the info guys.
