Hi folks,
Now that global IPv6 is becoming more and more of a reality, I've been reviewing many of my machine configurations to see how well they play with IPv6.
I noticed that when I reboot, avahi-daemon is starting before my IPv6 link is configured and it starts talking to my LDAP server on IPv4. If I restart it manually, it then switches to IPv6.
How do I tell it to start late enough to use IPv6 instead, is there some kind of dependancy I should change for the avahi-daemon service?
Thanks in advance,
Sean |

Assuming you use OpenRC, you can set dependencies. The doc is in /etc/rc.conf under SERVICE CONFIGURATION VARIABLES.
It seems you create /etc/conf.d/avahi-daemon and add this:
If your IPv6 address is coming in really late then set the depend to something late in the boot process like "local" which I think is last!
If that does not work then call a script from /etc/local.d/myscript.start with a delay in it ...
Cheers
