Same bug here, running Ubuntu Server 7.04 with latest updates installed. After reconfiguring eth0 from dynamic to static and performing ifdown eth0/ifup eth0 dhclient3 is still running and keeps mangling interface address later on. I also notice the following error message in /var/log/daemons.log
Sep 8 20:18:43 xxxxx dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: Permission denied and this is indeed impossible since dhclient3 runs under dhcp user while: ls -lh /var/lib/dhcp3/ total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-09-09 16:08 dhclient.eth0.leases (unless of course dhclient3 can somehow elevate its state back to root for performing operations on the lease files) I am surprised this bug has not been fixed yet after many months. I am also surprised it is marked as of Medium importance. I believe it is a blocker. -- dhclient3 keeps running after ifdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
