Description of problem: When having dhcpv6 tests about "Reception of Rebind message via unicast" in the server mode,we found that when receiving a Rebind Msg via unicast, NUT returns unexpected Reply Message in some scenarios. 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: When receiving a Rebind Msg via unicast, NUT returns unexpected Reply Message. Expected results: When receiving a Rebind Msg via unicast, NUT should not return unexpected Reply Message.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. 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.
the bug has been tested PASS with dhcpv6-1.0.4-1.el5.i386.rpm dhcpv6-client-1.0.4-1.el5.i386.rpm libdhcp6client-1.0.4-1.el5.i386.rpm.
but the test cases 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/rfc3315/54.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.
