Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.0.4-13
Severity: normal
Problem example:
Greping processes:
root 1874 0.0 0.0 3112 580 ? Ss 00:56 0:00 dhclient3 -pf
/var/run/dhclient.eth2.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth2.leases eth2
Then, you give: kill 1874
And of course the process is gone from the process list.
But the /var/run pid file remains there:
mordor:/lib/modules# l /var/run/dh*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 2007-02-24 00:56 /var/run/dhclient.eth2.pid
mordor:/lib/modules#
I guess this should not happen. Pid file should be gone...
