general questions: Is there a recommended way to modify a debian system to use it as a dhcp client? The system was working on another subnet. Should I modify /etc/init.d/network so the system doesn't come up using the wrong network address? dhcp-client-beta doesn't seem to add anything to my /etc/init.d directory. Do I need to update this directory and the run level scripts to start dhclient before doing (for example) nis initialization?
nis specific problems: When I run dhclient, /etc/resolv.conf is written with the new dns info, but /etc/defaultdomain doesn't change. I guess the file doesn't need to change, but the value returned by (nis)domainname isn't modified either. I'm using the dhcp-beta_2.0b1pl6-0.1 and dhcp-client-beta_2.0b1pl6-0.1. Here are part of my global options in /etc/dhcpd.conf: option domain-name "alantro.com"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.50.1; option nis-domain "alantro.com"; option nis-servers 192.168.50.1; system boots no /etc/resolv.conf domainname returns bongo run dhclient by hand new /etc/resolv.conf with alantro info domainname still returns bongo, I expected it to change to "alantro.com" Any suggestions?
