And I had this bugreport about +dhclient trying to store under a non-existent /var/lib/dhclient directory. + +I modified the dhcp package as in Fedora, to have each part +(client/server) use their own, self-provided, state directory to store +their lease file: /var/lib/dhcpd and /var/lib/dhclient. I expected to +fix the issue, and making life easier by mimicating fedora setup. + +Then Dave reported he now had the same error message as before, but with +the old directory: dhclient tries to store lease files under no more +existent /var/lib/dhcp directory... + +I grepped /etc for occurences of '/var/lib/dhcp', without results. I had +a look in networkmanager sources, which seems to be the culprit. It once +used C macro NM_DHCLIENT_STATE_DIRECTORY for this purpose, but not +anymore. Now, according to current code, it should uses its own state +directory (/var/lib/NetworkManager) to store those files, but that's +obviously not the case. And I'm myself having lease files in both +directories (/var/lib/dhclient and /var/lib/dhcp). + +I'm suspecting a mix of hardcoded or default configuration between dhcp +(the package), networkmanager and initscripts, but I can't figure where +exactly. If someone with more knowledge of those deep arcanes could +help, I'd be very grateful. +-- +BOFH excuse #120: + +we just switched to FDDI. +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="022572.html">[Mageia-dev] Freeze push: mangler 1.2.5 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="022581.html">[Mageia-dev] dhclient lease files location +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#22576">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#22576">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#22576">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#22576">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> -- cgit v1.2.1
