Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.1.1-3 Severity: important I set a timeout of 10 seconds in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf. This is only respected as long as I do not pass -cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to the client. If I do, it seems as if the entire configuration file is being ignored. This is a simplified scenario of what I encountered with netconf but it exhibits the problem.
