Martin, could you provide a link to the PR?

You cannot patch it Luke, it's an exe. I can send it to you when I am back at my desk.

Thank you very much. I am testing these now. I got the binaries scp'd onto the test box. I moved the stock binaries to /root/orig/ then ran chmod 555 dhcp6* on the replacements, since the old binaries were set r-xr-xr-x. After that, I applied the 417f208188be97c0fb9edf800d8e9aa2fe61d174 patch and rebooted. Everything is up and running as of now, also updated to latest snap 2.4.0.b.20170202.1158

I had the stock dhcp6c fail on me earlier tonight after a brief 7 minute WAN2 outage. WAN2 came back up but DHCP6 Gateway status was "Unknown" on Dashboard as well as Status > Gateways. I checked from console and there was only 1 dhcp6c process running (which was an improvement over the 2.3.2_p1 behavior where I would often wind up with 3 copies of the daemon!) But still, something was amiss.

So if this fixes things, it would be very timely. Will report back. cheers

Patch is working well so far!

I think possibly #6944 and #7145 should be merged into this ticket?

Yes, they are both 'hopefully' put to sleep with the changes done in the script patch I sent you and with dhcp6c changes. My testers are just going through a few final revisions - changed the logging a bit and introduced another new signal, that's for future use with the lease release button that's appeared.

I'll send you the latest revision to play with, hopefully I can issue a PR Monday or Tuesday on this if none of the testers come back with any negatives.

New stuff will be in your inbox shortly.

Close this Issue. DHCP6C has been fixed.
