Public bug reported: Binary package hint: netbase
/etc/init.d/networking script does not stop dhclient3 if you: 1. configure interface to use dhcp 2. start the interface using /etc/init.d/networking script 3. change the interface to static ip in /etc/network/interfaces 4. stop the interface using /etc/init.d/networking script Steps to reproduce: --------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/networking start * Configuring network interfaces...
