OSPF authentication supported for IPv6 / OSPFv3?

[Cybertinus]

Hello Ondrej,

Right. Thanks for your reply, that explains a lot. I will abandon my 
plan to add authentication to my OSPF sessions for now, and will add 
that once I've migrated this network to Bird 2.0.x (this is on the 
todo-list somewhere, but 1.6.x works fine for now, so the priority of 
this project isn't that high).

Kind regards,
Cybertinus
