[gentoo-user] remove DHCPCD/djbdns -- and now, manual setup fails...
Hello, list -- I have a server that had been running dhcpcd to get it's IP address. I don't want to do like this anymore, so I removed the package and attempted to configure the interface manually. However, somewhere in my configs dhcp client is still called. How do I fix this? Also, I'd tried installing and configuring djbdns. I can't get the nameservers in resolv.conf to give me dns, even though I can ping them. And, starting sshd calls dhcp and kills the eth0 device. How can I fix this? Any takers? -- Michael Higgins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

We have to see the config file to be able to tell what's wrong with it. -- Neil Bothwick Mr. Worf, scan that ship. Aye Captain. 300 dpi? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

We have to see the config file to be able to tell what's wrong with it. (As I mentioned in different post, I found the offending line in conf.d/net and fixed. Or, thought I did...) Here is /etc/conf.d/net: config_eth0=( 192.168.100.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.100.255 ) routes_eth0=( default via 192.168.100.1 ) /etc/nsswitch.conf: passwd: compat shadow: compat group: compat # passwd:db files nis # shadow:db files nis # group: db files nis hosts: files dns networks:files dns services:db files protocols: db files rpc: db files ethers: db files netmasks:files netgroup:files bootparams: files automount: files aliases: files /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 209.116.241.10 nameserver 216.99.225.31 nameserver 216.99.233.253 . . . The problem is that I installed djbdns and ran the scripts to set it up. It didn't work to cache and serve dns queries, so I gave up. But unmerging it left me with no DNS at all. I was hoping to find out what these scripts overwrote that's hijacking my DNS requests. Anyway, if anyone on the list has removed djbdns and re-configured access directly to their ISP's nameservers, I'd like to know if it was effortless, or was there something else required. -- Michael Higgins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
