Description Marc 2009-08-31 18:16:39 UTC

In the dhcpd init.d script, the configuration check does not take the $DHCPD_OPTS into consideration, mainly a problem when using the -6 flag as without it options such as prefix6 subnet6 etc. are not accepted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a dhcpd configuration involving ipv6 options
2. Add -6 to DCHPD_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/dhcpd
3. Attempt to run /etc/init.d/dhcpd start

Actual Results:  
Fails due to no -6 in the config check

Expected Results:  
Ran the config check with -6

Comment 1 Guido Winkelmann 2010-07-05 13:03:37 UTC

Another problem with running in DHCPv6 mode is that the init script won't create the correct leases file, again preventing dhcpd from starting up

should be fixed with dhcp-4.2.1
