Had to a make a minor tweak inside dhcp-4.2.4-P2/client/scripts/netbsd in order to get DHCPv6 working on NetBSD 6.0 final:

L282 currently reads: ifconfig ${interface} inet6 add ${new_ip6_address}/${new_ip6_prefixlen}

Had to remove "add" in order for this to apply the acquired address properly. ifconfig yields a syntax error otherwise. Unsure if this affects previous versions of NetBSD.

Thanks,
Tim Dean

Unsure if this > affects previous versions of NetBSD. => unfortunately the "add" (or the correct version of it, I've just set up a NetBSD 6.0 virtual machine so the man says it is a final "alias", and "-alias" for del(ete)) makes the difference between a command which sets (by overwriting) the address and a command which adds another address. So the correct fix should require more work.

Understood.

Francis,

You do see that the netbsd dhclient-script (as it stands today) needs a little bit of work for NetBSD 6.0 compatibility, correct?

Thanks,

Tim

=> unfortunately the "add" (or the correct version of it, I've just set up
a NetBSD 6.0 virtual machine so the man says it is a final "alias",
and "-alias" for del(ete)) makes the difference between a command
which sets (by overwriting) the address and a command which adds
another address. So the correct fix should require more work.

BTW the script is not included in the pkgsrc isc-dhclient package, I have no idea about it could work. (note an engineer took the ticket so he should address the problem)

had the same parameters...

I have no idea about it could work.
