Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze9
Severity: important


Hi,

it looks like the security update 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze9 to isc-dhcp-client 
changed
the use of the config file for /sbin/dhclient from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to
/etc/dhclient.conf -- the latter is not existing on squeeze machines, and so 
only
some default DHCP options are requested from the DHCP server.

In our case the option domain-search was not used, and so some of our NFS mounts
broke as we did not use the FQDN.

Please switch back to the original behaviour of using /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf,
which is part of the package isc-dhcp-client.

Why was this changed, such a change should not be part of a security update?

With regards, Alex
