Log Message:
Fixed Darren's original IPv6 icmp-type patch (rev 1.8) to display
better error messages if the user tries to use symbolic names such
as "echo" and "echorep" in "ipv6-icmp ... icmp-type ..." rules.

Consider the following rules:

  # cat /etc/ipf6.conf
  pass in quick proto ipv6-icmp from any to any icmp-type 128
  pass in quick proto ipv6-icmp from any to any icmp-type echo

Use of symbolic names give now the following error:

  # ipf -Fa -6f /etc/ipf6.conf
  2: Unknown ICMPv6 type (echo) specified (use numeric value instead)

The first rule with numeric value will work as expected:

  # ipfstat -6hi
  0 pass in quick proto ipv6-icmp from any to any icmp-type 128

NOTE: You MUST use numerical values for ICMPv6 types. See
      /sys/netinet/icmp6.h for available codes!
