I've turned it off now. Let's see if it happens again. Unfortunately I have no idea what actually triggered it... just that it was logged. I'm just copying a few of the messages: Feb 4 22:27:21 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: adding route to 2001:67c:1562::/64 Feb 4 22:35:15 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: Router Advertisement from fe80::ca0e:14ff:feee:a54b Feb 4 22:39:22 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: Router Advertisement from fe80::ca0e:14ff:feee:a54b Feb 4 22:39:22 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: adding address 2001:67c:1560:8001:b80a:a3c6:f2a8:b8f8/64 Feb 4 22:39:22 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: adding route to 2001:67c:1560:8001::/64 Feb 4 22:40:23 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: Router Advertisement from fe80::ca0e:14ff:feee:a54b Feb 4 22:40:23 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: adding address 2a03:7900:2:0:7c9f:2ae6:856e:b74b/64 Feb 4 22:40:23 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: if_addaddress6: Cannot allocate memory Feb 4 22:40:23 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: adding route to 2a03:7900:2::/64 Feb 4 22:40:25 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: Router Advertisement from fe80::ca0e:14ff:feee:a54b Feb 4 22:40:25 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: re1: adding address 2a03:7900:2:0:7c9f:2ae6:856e:b74b/64 Feb 4 22:40:25 murthe dhcpcd[11370]: if_addaddress6: Cannot allocate memory The "if_addaddress6: Cannot allocate memory" doesn't look very encouraging and was repeated several more times in between similar messages. Oh, and I found it very mystifying that I got no error messages at all from the end-of-line comments in the config file. The manual does say more or less that that's not supported, but still... before I realised that my attempts were failing because of that, I had torn out a lot of hair. > Roy -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
