      There is also a 1-line change to /etc/inc/services.inc - did you get that?

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

        @phil.davis:

        This? https://github.com/phil-davis/pfsense/commit/874f099a352f6e2a46f12b7b0daa6b1b5807a115.patch

        No, but did now and it has absolutely no effect. Not that it could do anything:

        
grep dhcrelay6 /etc/inc/services.inc
function services_dhcrelay6_configure() {
                echo "services_dhcrelay6_configure() being called $mt\n";
        killbypid("{$g['varrun_path']}/dhcrelay6.pid");
        $dhcrelaycfg =& $config['dhcrelay6'];
        $cmd = "/usr/local/sbin/dhcrelay -6 -pf \"{$g['varetc_path']}/dhcrelay6.pid\"";

        See the last line.

          This later one in the newer pull request: https://github.com/phil-davis/pfsense/commit/54a9d71ddf5d1ec4104af6d5ce849216abe752ac
          It changes varetc_path to varrun_path

                Good - jimp has taken these latest changes into main and 2.1 branch. The addition to the startup code (rc.bootup) hasn't got merged back into 2.1 branch yet, so it won't appear in a 2.1 snapshot. I have commented on that in GitHub and it should get noticed in due course.

                  While at it… noticed you added dhcrelay6 to services status/widget. Tried to do that with dhcrelay (not v6) without any luck

                  Guess I'm missing some additional place.

                    The way it detected if dhcrelay was enabled was simply wrong (or out-of-date).

                    Hopefully this clears up all the control issues for dhcrelay* :)

                      Tested and works fine, thanks.

                        All the changes have been merged into the 2.1 branch. They are in the latest build and working.
