Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-43.el5 Software Environment: Testee(NUT): RHEL5 Kernel:2.6.18-43.el5 Tester(TN): FreeBSD6.2 v6eval-3.0.12.tar.gz TAHI package: DHCPv6_Self_Test_P2_1_0_7.tar.gz How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure TAHI test environment. 2. Run the TAHI test suite 3. After the test completes, check for the results Actual results: The IA option of the recieved DHCPv6 Reply Message includes invalid IA_Address option Expected results: The IA option of the recieved DHCPv6 Reply Message includes no invalid IA_Address option Additional info: please refer to http://focus.brisbane.redhat.com/~zwu/dhcp_server/20071101/DHCPv6_Self_Test_P2_ 1_0_7_server/rfc3315/index.html (1) 44 Part C : Reception of Request message if NUT cannt assign any addresses

Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
Fixed upstream, will be in dhcpv6-1.0.5.
the test cases still FAIL On RHEL5.2 with dhcpv6-1.0.10 for more details, pls refer to http://focus.brisbane.redhat.com/~zwu/RHEL5.2-Server-20080212.0/20080220/DHCPv6_Self_Test_P2_1_0_8_server_1.0.10/rfc3315/index.html
In order to debug this problem, we need the test case for RHEL 5.2 with an exact reproducer, including output with verbose debugging messages from the DHCPV6 software. One way to do this would be to extract the commands that TAHI runs. The man pages for dhcp6s, dhcp6r, and dhcp6c all show how to generate verbose debug messages.
Fixed in dhcpv6-1.0.10-2.el5.
