Proof: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -nr "dhclient" ./archival [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
I have been getting annoyed at dhcpcd, which will take 180 seconds to ping even if there isn't a networking cable in my NIC. I use a laptop, so you can easily speculate how I got so annoyed. I know that Kubuntu had the ability to detect whether there was a cable in my laptop and ping accordingly. I looked at my Kubuntu workstation and found that it's using dhclient. I installed dhcpd on my laptop and tried my best to make it work. I got the following: localhost lsauron # rc-update -s 855resolution | acpid | battery default apache2 | apmd| apmiser| aumix | bootmisc | boot checkfs | boot checkroot | boot clock | boot coldplug | boot consolefont | boot crypto-loop | cupsd | battery default cvsd | dbus| dhcpd| <-- I understand this runs a DHCP server, not a client. dhcrelay | distccd| domainname | battery boot default esound | famd| gkrellmd| gpm| hald| default hdapsd|boot default hdparm| hostname|boot hotplug| inetd| keymaps| boot laptop_mode|battery boot default lisa| local|battery default nonetwork localmount|boot modules|boot mysql| net.eth0|battery default net.lo | boot netmount |battery default nscd| numlock| portmap| pwcheck| reslisa| rmologin|boot rsyncd| samba|battery default saslauthd| spamd| splash| sshd| syslog-ng| battery default urandom| boot vixie-cron|battery default xdm | battery default If there's anything wrong there, I'd love to know : ) Also, just as proof that I'm not a total and complete idiot: localhost lsauron # cat /etc/conf.d/net iface_eth0="dhclient" iface_eth1="dhclient" iface_eth2="dhclient" iface_eth3="dhclient" iface_eth4="dhclient" dhclient_eth0="" Once again, if I'm doing anything wrong... please tell me. I did check the gentoo-wiki, and found a most excellent how-to for running dhcpd to make my own dhcp server, however, comcast hates it when people do stuff like that because it compromises their network speed (what's left of it, anyways). I've done my job, and tried my best. I now look to the more wise and experienced to help. Thanks in advance for any insights! (PS: whoever made rc-update, you're a genius! Wish I had it on Kubuntu!) -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/
