After reading the latest dhcpcd docs, it's pretty clear that dhcpcd
wants to run before anything else network-configuration-wise
(ipfwadm/ipchain or ifconfig). That's not the default that happens
with debian (my distribution of choice) yet. Prior to fixing dhcpcd's
order in the startup sequence, but after upgrading dhcpcd, I was
getting what appeared to be random race condition successes and failures
from dhcpcd. In the end, it became apparent that dhcpcd wasn't cleaning
up /etc/dhcpc/hdcpcd-ethx.* upon shutdown. Several modifications to
/etc/rc.boot/ipmasq, /etc/init.d/network and /etc/init.d/dhcpc made
things right.
Thanks for the pointer to freshmeat. I had neglected to check there,
instead favoring the debian archives. They (freshmeat) had the pointers
to what I needed.
