Hi,

This is all very much OS dependent. NetBSD has:
net.inet6.ip6.redirect = 1 (sending)
net.inet6.icmp6.rediraccept = 1 (accepting)
The setting will of course do exactly nothing if the system in question
isn't forwarding.
I suspect other KAME based IPv6 stacks will have the same.
Whether it's wise to disable sending redirect is left as an exercise for
the reader :-P
