The dhcpagent(1M) man page has answers for most of this. The parameters controlling dhcpagent are set in /etc/default/dhcpagent. If you set PARAM_REQUEST_LIST to exclude the DHCP bits, then the DHCP client won't ask the server for that information. That may or may not be enough. DHCP servers are free to provide you with data even if you haven't asked for it. For that reason, there's also a PARAM_IGNORE_LIST that can be used to get rid of the DNS gook rather completely. To prevent overwrite, it's sufficient to make sure that 'DNSserv' (type 6) entries are not returned; see /lib/svc/method/net-svc for the mechanism that edits this file. (But do _NOT_ modify that script! Your changes will be nuked on upgrade. It's an internal part of the implementation.) If you want to use an event hook, create a /etc/dhcp/eventhook script. See the dhcpagent(1M) man page for details. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
