Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.0.4-13 Severity: wishlist It would be convenient to be able to specify in the configuration file (rather than on the command-line) that dhclient should be quiet. Indeed, it happens that dhclient is invoked by other programs which don't let one specify additiona command-line options. An example is the ifupdown package. It calls dhclient3 but it is not possible to specify other options than those encoded in ifupdown.
Another approach would be that ifupdown calls an external script which would be responsible for finding out a DHCP client installed on the system. This script could in turn include /etc/default/* files where one could specify arguments to pass to the DHCP client.H -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages dhcp3-client depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.17.5 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dhcp3-common 3.0.4-13 Common files used by all the dhcp3 ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dhcp3-client recommends no packages. -- debconf information: dhcp3-client/dhclient-needs-restarting: dhcp3-client/dhclient-script_moved: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
