Well, manually this technique seemed to work for me, at least when I restarted dhclient from the command line. I'm uncertain where one would inject "a very late init script" to ensure it will be proof against all the other processes that are lurking in Ubuntu and its brethren (I've read complaints in the Blogosphere that network manager, to cite one example, may restart dhclient if it notices it is not running). Perhaps none of them pertain to our stripped-down system. Obviously, I'm not above using this approach but I can't help feeling it amounts to "putting lipstick on the pig" I described in my earlier message to Bas:-) The tricky part of what Bas describes is that bit about "without giving up the previous lease". It isn't clear to me that the current documentation describes exactly the current software is doing, so I don't have a suggestion yet, but I'm confident this approach can be made to work too. I'm trying to work some different tricks as well but I'll be out of touch for a bit too to deal with family health matters.
