I don't think so. Even if the system is reconfiguring global addresses, it should have other stable addresses, such as link-local and loopback ones. So the address list starting at in6_ifaddr should rarely be empty. I suspect the EADDRNOTAVAIL error comes from a different part of the kernel (or the kernel has a serious bug). If you give us more information, we may be able to diagnose the problem. The information can include: - the result of ifconfig -a inet6 - the result of netstat -anl -f inet6 - the IPv6 address (and port) being bound in the error case - the (related part of the) source code of the daemon In any case, you should provide the FreeBSD version of your system.
