To quote my own sig file, it's not a bug, it's a feature. I happen to think that the dhcpc guys implemented the feature in a really irritating way, but that's how it is. The intent of the feature is to allow the dhcp server to update the client with ntp settings based on the local network configuration. This is a bit of a problem, though, seeing as very few dhcp servers appear to be configured to actually DO so, so it ends up by default updating it to either something useless, or removing the file entirely. The solution is, as Spider said, to add a -N flag to your dhcpc options in the dhcpcd_eth0= line. I have also added a -Y on mine, because it pulls the same nonsense with I think ypbind.conf (something like that, anyways). -- Craig West Ph: (416) 666-1645 | It's not a bug, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | It's a feature... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
