Hi misc@,

My OpenBSD VPSs hosted by ramnode.com can't get ipv6 addresses using
autoconf. I don't know if this is an OpenBSD bug or if ramnode.com is
behaving badly.

In /var/log/messages, after the kernel boot messages, I see
"slaacd[34007]: sendmsg: Can't assign requested address". ifconfig
doesn't show any inet6 addresses except the link-local fe80::... one.

Any idea what might be happening?


More details:

I tried with 6.9, 7.0 and a recent snapshot, and see the above
behaviour. With 6.9 and the snapshot, I started with a fresh vm image,
entering "autoconf" for the ipv6 config.

I've confirmed (by some fiddling) that
the log message is printed by the log_warn("sendmsg") call in
sbin/slaacd/frontend.c, but that's all I've figured out.

Other information:

- Ramnode has a note [0] about needing to fiddle with
  sys/netinet6/nd6_nbr.c to get ipv6 working, at least for those using
  "SolusVM". But I suspect that's not the issue here, for two reasons:
  1. I tried (more or less) that patch, and it didn't help.
  2. Separately, I tried setting sysctl net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_debug=1, and
     I didn't see the "nd6_ns_input: ..." log message.

- I had ipv4 troubles with the same provider last year [1] which led to
  a change in dhclient [2].

- Here's some info from one of my 7.0 vms:

- I put dmesg at the end of this email. I compiled the kernel myself
  but it's with unmodified 7.0 release source. (I lost the original
  kernel after trying out ramnode's patch.)
