Description of problem: Attempt to run dhcp6c in debug mode will experience the application going into an infinite loop. Similar experience has been observed in F-9 as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhcpv6_client-0.10-33.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create /tmp/dhcp6c.conf interface eth1 { send rapid-commit; request domain-name-servers; iaid 1111; address { 3ffe:501:ffff:100:216:17ff:fe42:6a6e/64; }; }; 2. dhcp6c -dDf -c tmp/dhcp6c.conf eth1 3. Actual results: Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 found an interface eth1 harware 00:1d:0f:19:59:fc Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 saved generated DUID to /var/lib/dhcpv6/dhcp6c_duid Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 set client ID Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 set opt_8 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 set rapid commit Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 set IA_NA iaidinfo: iaid 420420864 renewtime 0 rebindtime 0 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 set opt_3 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 set option request Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 send dst if eth1 addr is ff02::1:2%eth1 scope id is 3 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 send solicit to ff02::1:2%eth1 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 DUID is 00:01:00:01:47:f1:96:30:10:b1:eb:39:ff:7f, DUID_LEN is 14 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 removing ID (ID: 00:01:00:01:47:f1:96:30:10:b1:eb:39:ff:7f) Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 DUID is , DUID_LEN is 0 Apr/01/2008 09:56:08 reset a timer on eth1, state=SOLICIT, timeo=3, retrans=8268 Expected results: Should not be stuck in a loop Additional info:
Debug mode in client has been fixed with the test build dhcpv6-1.0.10-5.el5. Would you like to include this bug in z-stream update?
You're passing the -f switch, which keeps dhcp6c running in the foreground. Is that the intention? I am running it here using your command line and it's working fine, except dhcp6c stays in the foreground rather than going to the background.
