Hi,
I'm running kernel 2.2.18pre21 on a Beige G3/333 (mistie). I have a
problem with pumpd failing to renew it's lease. None of the other four
boxes I'm running, on the same net have this problem. One of them is an
i686 with kernel 2.2.14-5.0smp also running pumpd.
# cat /var/log/syslog | grep pumpd
<snip>
May 13 15:24:03 mistie pumpd[13682]: failed to renew lease for device
eth0
May 13 15:24:03 mistie pumpd[13682]: terminating as there are no more
devices under management
This is reoccuring several times a day. pumpd tries to renew it's
license every half an hour or so. About one time of four it fails with
the above error.
The list archives have a thread on this
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc-0104/msg00369.html> but no
solution afaik. That thread suggests there might be a problem with MACE
eth HW. But in my Beige G3 there's the BMAC i/f.
Anyone know if a solution was discussed or if it got narrowed down ?
looking at alternatives what is the difference between:
dhcp-client - DHCP Client
dhcpcd - DHCP client for automatically configuring IPv4 networking
?
cheers.
