After setting up my "dynamic" ip with comcast (it never seems to change, because it can't, I don't run dhcpcd as a daemon) all was fine until today, when my box just crashed. No warning. I was at work. When I rebooted the network wouldn't start. That's because the network script reads in dhcpcd-eth1.info from /var/run, where dhcpcd put it originally, and dhcpcd-eth1.info was gone. After much poking, I finally realized that /var/run is swept clean by the rc.boot startup script. SO, the message is, if you get your network parameters via dhcpcd, and want to keep them, don't store them in /var/run. And, backups help, too. Joel
