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

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.
