I would appreciate it if any Dachstein users using dhclient would do the following experiment and tell us the result. I guess I would be equally interested in pre-Dachstein LEAF versions of dhclient, or other leaf users with dhclient.lrp similar to Charles'.
In the file /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks, add the lines just before the comment #Reload networking to see new address: #Begin instrumentation date >> /var/log/dhclient.txt echo old_ip_address = $old_ip_address >> /var/log/dhclient.txt echo new_ip_address = $new_ip_address >> /var/log/dhclient.txt echo reason = $reason >> /var/log/dhclient.txt #End instrumentation See below where to add the lines. Then after the lease is renewed, or at least that particular code executes, post to the list the results. In my case I get this: Mon Feb 18 16:24:52 UTC 2002 old_ip_address = new_ip_address = 208.191.181.169 reason = BOUND The variable old_ip_address never has a value. I would like to know if other users's dhclient behaves like mine. Thanks, Tim Wegner My instrumented copy of /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks, so you can see where the lines go: #!/bin/sh # dhclient-exit-hooks script for LRP # Charles Steinkuehler, January 2000 # Updated June 27, 2000 to restart dnscache, if present # Notes: # 0.
