running unbuntu-server 8.04, edited /etc/network/interfaces to force eth0 to run in static mode as 192.168.1.60 on a LAN front-ended by a linksys router. works fine for a while, then can't ssh in. go to the console, ifconfig shows the box is 192.168.1.101 thanks to dhclient3.
...skipping story of grief and curses... finally just # kill -15 <PID_OF_dhclient3> all seems to be well, confidence is up until the next box reboot. i know that init will kick off dhclient3 and i'll have manually to kill it (or just slightly less inelegantly run some kind of cron job or /etc/rc.local call or some such. NO: i wanna know how to tell init not to kick off dhclient3. but i can't find where init gets its marching orders: not apparent in /etc/default/ nor in /etc/init.d/* nor in /etc/event.d/* and there is no /etc/inittab amd search as i might, even mighty google doesn't return or yield anything that helps me learn how to configure the init process. i wanna know, please, and will be grateful to the personnages who clue me in. with thanks, jim -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
