Package: netbase
Version: 4.25
Hi -
On a couple of etch systems we have here, some odd behaviour has been
observed:
* the system is installed to use dhcp (for convenience)
* /etc/network/interfaces is edited to set a static IP for the (sole)
ethernet interface, eth0
* /etc/init.d/networking restart is run
* the system correctly sets up eth0
* BUT some hours later, dhclient reconfigures the interface to DHCP
Example uname -a :
Linux kurt 2.6.16-2-686 #1 Sat Jul 15 21:59:21 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
The expected behaviour (by me - perhaps there's a good reason why this
shouldn't be so) would be for the networking init script to kill off any
lingering dhclient processes when networking is restarted.
Cheers,
Steff
