dhcp dhcp problem with ramnode.com: "CLASSLESS_STATIC_ROUTES too long" (workaround included)

2020-05-04 Thread James Cook
Hi misc, I'm mostly posting this so people doing a web search can find my workaround. However, if someone's interested in debugging it, I'm happy to cooperate. I don't know whether this is dhclient's fault or ramnode's fault. Here is my /etc/dhclient.conf ; the comment mostly explains the issue.

Rather, I'm looking for a full separation between the users, nothing shared but the obsd kernel and hardware, and no more overhead for each one than X normally has, since each user is just running flat normal X, but fully and independently of the other X user. Am I mistaken in how I understand Xn
