I am trying to start dhcpv6 but after I service dhcp6s start, the daemon seems started but the status show dhcp6s dead but subsys locked, how can i fix this problem? I am running trixbox\centos 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.

Look at the two areas /var/run/*.pid and /var/lock/subsys/*
What has happened there (I think!?) is that the daemon started, then crashed. Because it crashed, the daemon didn't clean up the PID file, so when you try to restart the Daemon, it finds a PID file already present, and refuses to start because its locked. If you can find the PID file and delete it, the daemon should restart OK.

As for why it crashed...have a look at your .conf file...It has 2 x { and only 1 x } in the Eth0 declaration....There may be other things wrong, but I'd start there

Hope this helps
