Check your logs for relevant messages. /var/log/messages is usually a
good place to start (but not this time). Depending on which service
level your client logs, /etc/syslog.conf should tell you where dhcp's
logging data are going. On my Etch box, they go to daemon.log and
syslog. This may help (not exhaustive, just useful):
heretic [root] /root_ egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/syslog.conf | egrep 'daemon|syslog'
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
daemon.* -/var/log/daemon.log
cron,daemon.none;\
daemon.*;mail.*;\
so in there somewhere is their log level. man syslog.conf
When I used pump on Debian, I found it exceptionally chatty. It
filled /var one day. This may since have changed/been fixed; dunno.
It may even be Debian specific default config. I didn't notice the
problem in a recent Zenwalk install. pump worked great there.
I use dhcp3 on Etch atm. No probs. Version: 3.0.4-13
