Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7~alpha5+really0.6.16 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Normally dhclient is sent to bg and exit 0 during boot to speed up boot time. The problem is that it takes up to 8 seconds to obtain an ip address in our network and so services like nslcd do not have a fully configured network during startup. It would be great to have an option to force dhclient to be run if fg, in order to prevent the other services to be started before network is up.
