Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.1.1-3
Severity: normal
To make dhclient exit gracefully, a new dhclient instance has to be
started with -x $IFACE. It writes its own PID file and establishes
contact with the running dhclient instance governing the $IFACE
through some black voodoo magic that ceases to work if the interface
disappears. If that happened, it's impossible to take down the
running instance gracefully (thus unconfiguring e.g. nameservers),
but it'll stay around until killed (which takes it down without
deconfiguring anything).
It would be nice if dhclient would react to a signal and exit
gracefully or if there were another way to take down an instance
gracefully, even if the interface disappeared.
