Hi,
I've an appliance (running Debian Etch) that needs to be able to run in an
environment that might or might not have a dhcp server handy.
I've made the following changes to dhclient.conf, and got surprising results:
1. The changes:
timeout 10 ;
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 192.168.0.58;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
renew 2 2037/1/12 00:00:01;
rebind 2 2037/1/12 00:00:01;
expire 2 2037/1/12 00:00:01;
}
2. The surprise:
# /etc/init.d/networking stop; sleep 5; /etc/init.d/networking start
Deconfiguring network interfaces...There is already a pid file
/var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 3074
killed old client process, removed PID file

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Where's the 'ping' command
coming from???
Any other suggestions on how to do this?
Note that when a dhcp server is available, all works fine.
Thanks,
Rony
