This bug was reported automaticaly in connection with IPv6 project. Our aim is to support IPv6 in all Fedora Core packages so FC6 and RHEL5 will be ready for IPv6. This package seems to lack IPv6 support as is illustrated in attached log. Here follows part of scanning log (grep -r F_INET *)/up to 30 lines: /dhcdbd-1.15/dhcp_options.c:1149: rq_ai.ai_family = AF_INET; /dhcdbd-1.15/dhcp_options.c:1154: if( (aie->ai_family == AF_INET) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_prospective_subscriber.c:33: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)value, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_prospective_subscriber.c:47: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)value, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_prospective_subscriber.c:60: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)value, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_prospective_subscriber.c:75: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)p, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_prospective_subscriber.c:89: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)p, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_subscriber.c:33: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)value, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_subscriber.c:47: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)value, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_subscriber.c:60: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)value, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_subscriber.c:75: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)p, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_subscriber.c:89: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)p, &(a[0]),16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/t.c:121: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)&(s.i1), &a1[0], 16), /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/t.c:122: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)&(s.i2), &a2[0], 16), /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/t.c:123: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)&(s.i3), &a3[0], 16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/t.c:154: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)&(route.net), &a1[0], 16), /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/t.c:156: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)&(route.router), &a2[0], 16), /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/t.c:187: printf("JO: ip:%s\n", inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)&(jop->ip), &(a1[0]), 16)); /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_binary.c:129: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)ip_address, &a[0], 16) /dhcdbd-1.15/tests/test_binary.c:161: inet_ntop(AF_INET, (struct in_addr*)subnet_mask, &a[0], 16)
Hi David, could you update status of this issue? Is it relevant? Does dhcpdbd support IPv6?
dhcdbd does not provide an interface for IPv6 support. dhcdbd is used by NetworkManager, so for NetworkManager to gain IPv6 support, dhcdbd needs it. However, after talking with Dan Williams, we concluded that dhcdbd isn't really necessary and the correct direction to go is to remove it entirely. Either way, we have a fair bit of work on the client side (as in the IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP clients) and the NetworkManager side.
