Hi List

I just comitted http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/ci/fb30dc0fe4?sbs=0 This adds authentication to dhcpcd messaging! It's the last big feature that dhcpcd needs - it should now be feature complete bar a rogue RFC or two.

I've been testing it against WIDE dhcp6s and sometimes dhcp6s fails to authenticate the message dhcpcd sends. Unsure why as dhcpcd has yet to fail a message dhcp6s sends. Hopefully I can test against dibbler next week as I think that supports this also. I've even added a HMAC-MD5 test suite as per RFC 2202 and dhcpcd passes with flying colours (using NetBSD md5 in libc and the public md5 from the web).

If you have any interest in this, NOW is the time to test it and provide feedback.

Thanks

Roy
