to get a password. In slightly more detail, this client program

brings up network interfaces, uses the interfaces’ IPv6

servers on the network, until it receives a satisfactory reply

will wait indefinitely for new servers to appear.

The network interfaces are selected like this: If any interfaces

those interface are used. Otherwise,

<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> will use all interfaces that
