ls -l /usr/local/sbin/dhcpleases6

/root: pkg which /usr/local/sbin/dhcpleases6 
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpleases6 was installed by package dhcpleases6-0.1_3

But it shouldn't just disappear?!

/root: pkg info dhcpleases6
dhcpleases6-0.1_3
Name           : dhcpleases6
...
Comment        : read dhpcd6.leases file and trigger command on modification
...
Description    :
read dhpcd.lease file and add it to hosts file

The info would suggest that it is used by dhcpd.

@patient0 I have no idea why it is missing. I am just missing that file how can I get it?

JonathanLee

Can I just reinstall that package ??

Like do an apt get to download it ?

JonathanLee

No wait it is there…

JonathanLee

@patient0 It deletes when you clear the leases ... But if you clear leases it should not throw an error shouldn't that have a flag if leases cleared in last 5 mins do not throw error or something ?

Fix what ?
True, this executable file

/usr/local/sbin/dhcpleases6

exists, but I couldn't find out how it's used. I presume its a left over the good old ISC days.

These days, "dhcpd" now uses kea, and the kea2unbound script tool to store the host names from the lease (v4 and v6) into the /etc/hosts file - and DNS local cache.

Btw : I'm using 25.03 latest Beta.

@JonathanLee have a look at this post from Oct 2023, https://forum.netgate.com/post/1130947. It may apply to your setup.

"If you have 23.05.1 or 2.7.0 and installed the system patches package and applied all the recommended patches, you might have missed the note on one saying you need to run pkg install dhcpleases6. One of the patches fixed an issue with prefix delegation but that binary has to be added back manually.

If it's on 23.09 that should already be present, and if it's not, there may be some other dependency issue happening."

But if you are using KEA I still think you won't need it. Of course it does make sense to install it anyway, just so you have a consistent installation.

To reinstall, FreeBSD Manual Pages: pkg-install suggests:

pkg install -f dhcpleases6
