I have no idea what would happen if you uncommented these things on a
system that uses dhclient. There's a "LEASE DECLARATIONS" section in
dhclient.conf(5) that appears to discuss it, but I've never used it, and
I don't want to make statements based on an extremely brief skim of
the first paragraph.
However, now I'm even more confused. I thought your system had dhcpcd
installed and running. Why would it *also* have a configuration file
for dhclient? These are two completely different DHCP client packages.
I can't imagine why dhcpcd would read this file at all.
.
let me clarify: This buster machine acting like a 3d printer does NOT
have dhcpcd installed. No trace of it in /etc Only dhcp. And apparently
does have networkmangler, so at present I have no way but sneakernet
with a usb key, to get updates of any kind to it, so until I do get it a
legit address I'm stuck using nano to edit what actually IS there. The
only screen is the printers lcd screen, probably run by KlipperScreen.
Its a rockchip board, so I expect if uncovered I'd find a couple open
usb ports to plug in a keyboard and mouse, and an hdmi socket to plug a
monitor into. If I brick the network, I'll probably have to do that.
But I'm a, out of table room, and b, would have to rig it for hoisting
to gt a bigger table under it. I have a worn out back and it weighs 80 lbs.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
