or those of you who have not yet tried to find out what this "thing"
actually is, here is something from Debian: "dhcdbd provides a D-Bus
interface to dhclient, the DHCP client from ISC, so applications such as
NetworkManager can query and control dhclient. This allows an
application-neutral interface for such operations"
It was suggested (in something I read somewhere) that the problem lies
with NetworkManager, which is a Gnome problem. With only limited
comprehension of the english language, perhaps I am misreading the
Debian description which seems to put the issue squarely in this venue.
That aside, I have been able t locate two places that appear to be (at
least) a part of the problem:
/etc/dbus-1/system.d <<complete text follows>>
# if we are called by dhcdbd, push the information acquired by dhclient back to
dhcdbd
if [ -n "${dhc_dbus}" ]; then
/usr/bin/dbus-send \
--system \
--dest=com.redhat.dhcp \
--type=method_call \
/com/redhat/dhcp/$interface \
com.redhat.dhcp.set \
'string:'"`env | /bin/egrep -v
'^(PATH|SHLVL|_|PWD|dhc_dbus)\='`";
fi;
and in
/etc/dhcp3/client-exit-hooks.d/dhcdbd <<complete text follows>>
# if we are called by dhcdbd, push the information acquired by dhclient back to
dhcdbd
if [ -n "${dhc_dbus}" ]; then
/usr/bin/dbus-send \
--system \
--dest=com.redhat.dhcp \
--type=method_call \
/com/redhat/dhcp/$interface \
com.redhat.dhcp.set \
'string:'"`env | /bin/egrep -v
'^(PATH|SHLVL|_|PWD|dhc_dbus)\='`";
fi;
Not to be at all insulting to anyone (really--I mean that) it appears that
somewhere along the line a "sample script" was copied and pasted in order to
make things work without reinventing the wheel. It may be that the unaltered
files slipped though the quality control process.
Sorry to say, I don't know anywhere near enough to begin to rewrite
this. But my guess is that it would not be a terribly difficult task
who understood the guts of what is **supposed** to be happening. I also
cannot assure anyone that these are the only two instances causing
problems.
I hope this hekps someone to pound out a fix. Wireless that doesn't
work, or doesn't work reliably is a show stopper. I admit to getting
almost ticked off enough to wipe out this installation on return to
Slackware. Can't have that, now, can we?
