DHCP Server fails to start since last update

Hi there,

since my last System upgrade dhcpd refuses to start during startup. When starting it manually in a root terminal later, It works...

According to my errors.log, there's something about IPv6...

Any ideas?

Re: DHCP Server fails to start since last update

I solved the problem by adding ipv6 to Modules in rc.conf. Thanks for the hint!
