Hi.

I tried DHCPv6 Self Test 1.0.13. However, this testing suite is
demanding too much user input.

I mean, I usually let run those tests overnight, but DHCPv6 Self test
still asks for enabling or disabling DHCPv6.

Is there any workaround to avoid this? I don't know how many tests from
whole set requires this, but couldn't be done some workaround around this?

I know that it depends on system on NUT but some basic construction,
which could be then fixed for certain operating system by tester
wouldn't help.

If perl-Expect is used to communicate via serial, could also enabling
and disabling be controlled over serial, too?

At least, perl-Expect could login via serial and ask for disabling or
enabling dhcp6 here. Tester (by this I mean someone who is performing
testing, ie. me) could then easily replace text from screen by command
which disables or enables dhcpv6 and everything is perfect.

I'd do it by myself, but I have poor skills with perl and testsuite
itself, so I would break it more than improve.

Thank you for any ideas.
