Description of problem: I am using dhcpv6 server on fedora core 3 linux for i386. The dhcp6s server is updated to dhcp6s-0.10-14_FC3.rpm. When I connect a cisco 7301 router as a client to the DHCPv6 server, the server does not return a valid prefix. I notice in the log the following.

Does this still happen on Fedora Core 5 or higher?
The problem here is that we don't support Fedora Core 3 anymore. It's in legacy support mode: http://www.fedoralegacy.org/ We currently support Fedora Core 5 and the active development tree. I've looked through the dhcpv6 package and it looks like this problem has been addressed in later builds. You have build 14 in FC3, we are up to build 31. There is bug #196429, which looks to address your problem. It was fixed in build 30. In addition, this is from the changelog under the build 18 notes: * Wed May 10 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias> - 0.10-18 - Make server send client the IPv6 address prefix in address lease; make client use it Now, if you must continue to use FC3, there's not a lot I can do for you. You can try building the SRPM from rawhide on FC3, but if it doesn't work, there's not much I can do. You can ask the Fedora Legacy project to pull in the latest version from rawhide and release an update for FC3. Or you can upgrade to FC5.
