** Description changed: 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: + Instead, I observe that a default configuration is being used, i.e. the + router option is still being requested.
