Hi! [First of all, I have posted this question already on the FreeBSD forum -- so far without replies -- and now my hope is that the set of subscribers here and those of the forum do not completely coincide.]
I have installed FreeBSD 9.1 on my server (it's a virtualized qemu/kvm environment, in case that matters) and during boot the following messages appear: ntpd[766]: ntpd 4.2.4p5-a (1) ntpd[767]: bind() fd 23, family AF_INET6, port 123, scope 2, addr fe80::216:36ff:fe74:2076, mcast=0 flags=0x11 fails: Can't assign requested address ntpd[767]: unable to create socket on re0 (3) for fe80::216:36ff:fe74:2076#123 This happens with a GENERIC kernel. I have not touched any IPv6 related configuration after install, so everything should be in the default state. Neither have I changed the ntp/ntpd configuration. Although I could find some threads where people were discussing the same problem, none of the mentioned suggestions fixed this for me. In particular I tried setting ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" in rc.conf -- didn't fix the problem. According to ifconfig, my interfaces, re0 in particular, have IPv6 addresses associated to them. So why would it fail that a process tries to bind to it? Note that I'm rather unexperienced wrt IPv6. Would be great if somebody could give me a hint into the right direction. Anybody else experiencing this? Thank you very much! ~ melanie _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
