Hello Hermann, I've got to say I'm not quite following what you're saying the problem is here. I've examined the stock "linux" dhclient-script that ships with the source, and I can't see how it's passing any arguments to the hooks either. That said, you talk about detecting failures. I had a quick play with the debug hook that ships with the client package, and enabled it, and there's a "reason" variable available to it. I tried playing with it, but the best I could do is get it to be set to "FAIL", not "TIMEOUT" that you speak of. So if you can give me an example of how you'd like this to work, I can see what I can do. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
