Today I installed the isc-dhcp-client package. It installs a completlly different dhclient-script. One that looks like it matchhes what your begin/exit scripts are designed to work with.
# base version /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks.sav /etc/dhclient.conf /sbin/dhclient /sbin/dhclient-script # port version /etc/rc.d/dhclient /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf.sample /usr/local/sbin/dhclient /usr/local/sbin/dhclient-script At the end of the pkg install it says this. **** To setup dhclient, you may need to edit /etc/rc.conf to replace the base system dhclient, such as : dhcp_program="/usr/local/sbin/dhclient" dhcp_flags="-q" When I boot with this in my rc.conf dhcp_program="/usr/local/sbin/dhclient" dhcp_flags="-q" # no banner background_dhclient="YES" # Start dhcp client in the background. ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" I get these error messages over and over. Have to reboot in single user mode to edit rc.conf to fix. Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use Please make sure there is no other dhcp server running and that there's no entry for dhcp or bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you are not running HP JetAdmin software, which includes a bootp server. When I boot with the same rc.conf content execpt with #ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" commented out, I do not get ip address from dhcp server. Next run I edited the pkg version of /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf and added 'interface dc0' to it and rebooted and got same results. I think this is another indicator of a bug with the base dhclient and that this bug makes the pkg version unusable. How do I turn on this xtrace you talk about to capture the rc.conf boot process? I can not find man xtrace. There is a ktrace. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
