Works OK now. Nice. > Now it has one. /var/lib/udhcp/udhcpc.leases. udhcpc given me: lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address "10.19.66.61"; filename "http://www/preseed.cfg"; subnet-mask "/255.255.255.0"; option domain-nam "fjphome.nl"; option routers "10.19.66.1"; option ntp-servers ""; } While dhcp3 gives: lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 10.19.66.61; filename "http://www/preseed.cfg"; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 10.19.66.1; option dhcp-lease-time 7200; option unknown-208 f1:0:74:7e; option dhcp-message-type 5; option unknown-209 "debian-installer/pxelinux.cfg/default"; option domain-name-servers 10.19.66.2,10.19.66.1; option dhcp-server-identifier 10.19.66.2; option unknown-210 "/"; option host-name "vbox1"; option domain-name "fjphome.nl"; renew 0 2010/01/31 01:23:15; rebind 0 2010/01/31 02:19:33; expire 0 2010/01/31 02:34:33; } Probably worth adding/fixing for udhcpc is: - missing option host-name - missing option domain-name-servers - missing option dhcp-server-identifier - strange leading slash for subnet-mask - typo option domain-nam (missing e) The other differences are probably not that relevant. Oh, and we also need 'ntpservers' I think. I can't test that here now, but netcfg does (in dhcp.c): if ((d = fopen(NTP_SERVER_FILE, "r")) != NULL) { char ntpservers[DHCP_OPTION_LEN + 1] = { 0 }; fgets(ntpservers, DHCP_OPTION_LEN, d); fclose(d); unlink(NTP_SERVER_FILE); if (!empty_str(ntpservers)) { debconf_set(client, "netcfg/dhcp_ntp_servers", ntpservers); } } and the clock-setup postinst has: db_get netcfg/dhcp_ntp_servers Also, if I run netcfg multiple times with dhcp3, I get multiple leases in the leases file. You seem to overwrite the existing file. Not sure if that needs fixing or not. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
