 Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 10:57 am Post subject: [solved] dhcpcd is overwriting /etc/resolv.conf even with -R |
 |
|
Latest emerge has fouled my work gentoo box. I don't know if dhcpcd emerged or not. I could check the log.
But at any rate, resolv.conf is being overwritten by dhcpcd even though I have this in my eth1 config line in /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | config_eth1=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_eth1="-R -Y -h ${HOSTNAME}" |
Can someone give me any idea why dhcpcd would ignore -R?
Thanks in advance,
Raydude
PS dhcpcd 4.0.1-r1 may have just emerged... Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks Uberlord!
Unfortunately, my network here at work requires me to not overwrite the file as their dhcp servers are ... not programmed correctly? Or something like that.
Here's the fix for me:
/etc/init.d/conf.d/net
| Code: | config_eth1=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_eth1="‐C resolv.conf" |
(I haven't tested this yet with a reboot, will as soon as vmplayer re-emerges)
DHCPCD 4 changed the way it controls stuff and a lot of options have changed.
Thanks again,
Raydude
Update: The above file did not work. Seems there are problems with scripting...
This works and its all the time I can give the issue:
| Code: | config_eth1=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_eth1="eth1 -C resolv.conf" |

Yes, that is also a fix, but the patch attempts to make -R work when compat mode is in use.

Note: I had to specify the device in my dhcpcd_eth1 line. I updated my post above.
