Package: smcroute Version: 0.94-1 Severity: important Hello:
This bug is closely related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560154 which is archived, but I'd say this it's the root cause of that. When I try to manually start smcroute I get: $ smcroute -d ERRO: open(/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding); Errno(13): Permission denied This error comes from mroute-api.c:277 in function enableMRouter6, excerpt: 275: { int fd; char * file = "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding"; fd = open( file, O_WRONLY ); if ( fd < 0 ) smclog( LOG_ERR, errno, "open(%s)", file); (void) write( fd, "1", 1 ); (void) close( fd ); } return 0; 287: This function has by the way, an unrelated minor bug, when fd is actually <0 it should return or skip execution of write and close with invalid fd. More information: $ ll /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 ene 12 12:49 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding 0 # echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/mc_forwarding: Permission denied # sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.mc_forwarding=0 error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv6.conf.all.mc_forwarding' scmroute process is not running. Taking this all into account, I'd say it's a kernel issue which I'm investigating. Note that multicast routing support for ipv6 is experimental, at least in current squeeze version (2.6.30) I could make scmroute work again downgrading to lenny 0.93 which doesn't have ipv6 support.
