Hi Bret,
Well it is easy to see if it will fix your problem by just installing the
RPM and trying it on the command line.
Do a man dhcpcd to see if my options suit you.
/sbin/dhcpcd -d -R -h <hostname> <device>
^ ^
(this is (eth0 or whatever)
what pump
can't handle
properly)
If this works then you are all set... Now the fun of setting it all up to
work automagically.
You need to edit the following :
(of course back these up before screwing with them.)
1) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX
DEVICE=ethX
IPADDR=
NETMASK=
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
BROADCAST=
NETWORK=
USERCTL=no
DHCP_HOSTNAME=<hostname>
2) /sbin/ifup
Where it has :
if [ "$BOOTPROTO" = bootp -o "$BOOTPROTO" = dhcp ]; then
PUMP=true
fi
Change to :
if [ "$BOOTPROTO" = dhcp ]; then
PUMP=true
fi
Where it has :
if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
PUMPARGS=
if [ -n "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" ]; then
PUMPARGS="-h $DHCP_HOSTNAME"
fi
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
if /sbin/pump $PUMPARGS -i $DEVICE ; then
echo " done."
else
echo " failed."
exit 1
fi
Change to :
if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
PUMPARGS=
if [ -n "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" ]; then
PUMPARGS="-h $DHCP_HOSTNAME"
fi
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
if /sbin/dhcpcd -d -R $PUMPARGS $DEVICE ; then
echo " done."
else
echo " failed."
exit 1
fi
3) /sbin/ifdown
Where it has :
if [ "$BOOTPROTO" = bootp -o "$BOOTPROTO" = dhcp ]; then
pump -r -i ${DEVICE}
fi
if [ "$BOOTPROTO" = bootp ]; then
fi
Change to :
if [ "$BOOTPROTO" = dhcp ]; then
if [ -f /var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid ]; then
kill `cat /var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid`
rm -f /var/run/dhcpcd-${DEVICE}.pid
fi
fi
I am pretty sure I didn't leave anything out. Good luck.
Have fun,
--
