Hmm, I did that, and as son as I set the executable bit on
/etc/dhclient-script, and rebooted, it grabed dynamic address again.
I'm poking around in /etc/init.d/dhcp-clinet, and I'm puzzled by this line:
# If /etc/network/interfaces exists, and there is a line that contains
# something like "iface lec0 inet dhcp" then we should not be
# doing anything here.
if [ -f /etc/network/interfaces ]; then
grep -q '^iface.*dhcp' /etc/network/interfaces && exit 0
fi
This seems backwards to me. But I checked it on 2 differnt systems.
What am I missing here?
