I am getting endless reports in my syslog about the DHCP client that is denied permission to send a packet.
This is on a host in a VM where the provider gives me a fixed IPv4, a fixed IPv6 (/64) and a block of /48 of IPv6. I don't know if my VM picks the address up via DHCP or not but it does run three DHCP client processes.
This is my ifconfig output (with some anonymization), the bridge is there for the purposes of iocage:
I have found some old posts suggesting the DHCP client wants to do a broadcast but is not allowed to (by PF? by some ACLs?) but also reports that that was caused by a bug that has since been fixed. That would explain why I don't see many recent reports. But why am I now seeing this? Have I misconfigured something?
