Subject: 'dhclient -6' ignores option modifiers

I've had a few bug reports that for example: prepend dhcp6.name-servers 2001:470:20::2; in dhclient.conf doesn't work with 'dhclient -6' (unlike 'dhclient -4'). I tried to ask [1] on dhcp-users few years ago, but with no luck. I'm reporting it as I consider it a bug. I'm hoping to figure out how it's supposed to be working and will attach a patch one day. [1] https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2010-October/012497.html With regards, Jiri Popelka
I took a quick look at this issue and from that it appears this is a feature we haven't added to v6 clients yet. I don't see the calls that I would expect to be used to process the prepend (or append) statements in the v6 code. I'm hoping we will have time to work on this in the near future but can't promise anything until we've figured out our ticket list for the next release(s). regards, shawn

Thank you. > I don't see the calls that I would > expect to be used to process the prepend (or append) statements in > the v6 code. Would you mind pointing me to where this is done in v4 code ? I tried to, but couldn't wrap my head around the options handling code, it's too abstract for me. > I'm hoping we will have time to work on this in the near future but > can't promise anything until we've figured out our ticket list for the > next release(s). sure, thanks -- Jiri
