After installing 9.0RC2 I'm getting the following warnings at boot time: Dec 9 10:31:09 curlew ntpd[1081]: bind() fd 23, family AF_INET6, port 123, scope 3, addr fe80::6ef0:49ff:fe9e:8897, mcast=0 flags=0x11 fails: Can't assign requested address Dec 9 10:31:09 curlew ntpd[1081]: unable to create socket on nfe0 (3) for fe80: :6ef0:49ff:fe9e:8897#123 I'm puzzled by this because I've only configured the system for IPV4 and yet my network interface has been configured for both: nfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=82008<VLAN_MTU,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE> ether 6c:f0:49:9e:88:97 inet 192.168.1.13 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::6ef0:49ff:fe9e:8897%nfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active /etc/rc.conf: hostname="curlew.lan" ifconfig_nfe0="inet 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.138" zfs_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" keymap="uk.iso" ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" sshd_enable="YES" inetd_enable="YES" powerd_enable="YES" /etc/ntp.conf contains just a single line: server ntp.plus.net maxpoll 9 The boot messages appear to be just warnings because ntpd is working fine over IPV4 but I feel that I should try to fix this in case it leads to problems later. I certainly don't need IPV6, neither my router nor my ISP provide the facility but I haven't managed to find any way of disabling it. -- Mike Clarke
