After a recent update, dhcpcd won't stay dead. I've got it configured to time out in 7 seconds:
/etc/conf.d/net config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_eth0="-t 7" That sort of works, dhcpcd dies and returns 0 after 7 seconds if there is no server. The startup script gives up on that interface and goes on to the next one. However, after a recent update, it now appears that a second instance of dhcpcd is getting started immediately, and it runs forever, filling my system log with a never-ending stream of useless spew like this: Nov 4 22:19:34 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: trying to use old lease in /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info' Nov 4 22:19:34 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: checking 169.254.7.65 is available on attached networks Nov 4 22:19:35 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: adding IP address 169.254.7.65/16 Nov 4 22:19:40 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease Nov 4 22:19:47 ThinkGrant dhcpcd[15785]: eth0: timed out The second instance of dhcpcd never exits... Who is starting this second instance and why is it going into a never ending loop pulling bogus month-old IP addresse out of /var/lib/dhcpcd? -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
