A possible cause of something like this would be a packet filter that is configured to discard packets to or from localhost:4999. That would cause the control connection to fail, which would make libdhcpagent fork and exec a new dhcpagent ... leading to that message. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
