Public bug reported:
1.)
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
2.)
Package version:
isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-7ubuntu12.13
3.)
I have attempted to run dhclient using the '-cf' option to pass the path
to a custom configuration file in '/etc'. My custom configuration
differs from the default as it does not request a default router gateway
for the interface.
i.e.
dhclient -v -cf /etc/my_config.conf eth0
4.)
I would have expected that dhclient uses the configuration file in
'/etc' as the path is valid.
5.)
Instead, what I observer if that a default configuration is being used,
i.e. I observer that the router option is still being requested. I re-
attempted the test but this time placing the new configuration file in
'/etc/dhcp' and rerun the client:
dhclient -v -cf /etc/dhcp/my_config.conf eth0
On this occasion, I observed that my custom config is being applied.
