Mike,

Very interesting, the name of the binary is different than the manual
pages say it is.  I was looking for dhcp6sctl no dhcp6ctl as is listed
above.  This would explain why I couldn't find it with either find or
whereis.

An excerpt from the manual pages:
dhcp6s(8)
SEE ALSO
     dhcp6s.conf(5), dhcp6sctl(8), dhcp6c(8)

So, who maintains the software?  Or is this a ports issue?

Andy
