After having updated to the world past 2002-02-19, dhclient started very fast cycle of acquiring and releasing leases every time it was attached to the local network, like it's attacking the DHCP server. After all, it was /sbin/dhclient-script that failed trying to update /etc/resolv.conf which had schg turned on (I needed this to prevent ppp from replacing resolv.conf when my / was mounted read-write, until I found 'resolv readonly' option in in ppp(1) manual).
The fix below also covers read-only root filesystem case. --- /usr/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/scripts/freebsd Thu Mar 21 14:49:53 2002 +++ /usr/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/scripts/freebsd Thu Mar 21 15:03:53 2002 @@ -9,7 +9,8 @@ fi make_resolv_conf() { - if [ "x$new_domain_name" != x ] && [ x"$new_domain_name_servers" != x ]; then + if [ "x$new_domain_name" != x ] && [ x"$new_domain_name_servers" != x ] && \ + [ -w /etc/resolv.conf -o -w /etc -a ! -e /etc/resolv.conf ]; then echo search $new_domain_name >/etc/resolv.conf for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do echo nameserver $nameserver >>/etc/resolv.conf Regards.
