dhcp6leased is now included to handle IPv6-PD, and if your ISP supports SLAAC, slaacd is included as well for your WAN interface. I still have my fingers crossed for DHCPv6 normal address delegation, but it's a great step!
Edit: My question wasn't so much why you'd want SLAAC as why you'd need a daemon for it. From https://www.openbsd.org/papers/florian_slaacd_bsdcan2018.pdf:
> Remove sending of router solicitations and processing of router advertisements from the kernel.
Oh, got it. That totally makes sense in an OpenBSD way.
YMMV!
edit: I may be slightly misunderstanding, and it might not be needed. Regardless, my router can now ping internet addresses while running slaacd.
Perhaps you don’t want it.
I could go off and RTFM, but then we wouldn't get to talk about it.
Hopefully that's clear as mud ;) I would encourage you to go check out IPv6 if that was the intent of your original question. It actually makes more sense after you dive in, and can be pretty neat.
ULAs (Unique Local Address) are one often-overlooked part of which I'm an advocate.
1. It can be one so it probably should be. 2. This lets you not run it.
It's actually very, very stable compared to how other OS's development usually goes.
EDIT: why the downvotes?
The official OpenBSD announcement is not the link from this thread.
It's from the original/dupe HN thread I linked too (2-days ago).
1. I actually preferred this link that showed the highlights in a compact format.
2. There are some other HN user(s) who seem to be obsessed with posting [dupe] comments like their lives depended on it, and others may find it off putting. I know I do. Unless it's an exact dupe and very recent, for me it has "ha-ha, gotcha!" or Wikipedia deletionist vibes. For some reason, "See also:" doesn't bug me nearly so much. Maybe because that seems like a notice for the benefit of the reader, but "dupe" sounds to me like a callout to a moderator to hide the story.
