Starting dhclient at boot up
Hi: This may be an old question which has been already answered. After booting into linux (debian woody), I always have to open an xterm, log in as root and start dhclient. How can I do this automatically at boot up? Regards, Abhay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dhclient at boot?
Hi, I have a laptop running debian woody. I can do dhcp networking okay, but I need to run dhclient by hand as root whenever i reboot. In truth, this system is usually used in dhcp environments, and on those occasions when dhcp is not available, I have a reserved static configuration that will work consistantly. can anyone suggest a nice way to handle this 'logic' in a startup script? i.e. try dhclient, if fail, then set eth0 manually ... aloha (and TIA) dave pgpSwLGDMMg1b.pgp Description: PGP signature
