Ah..... /etc/conf.d/net....... been there often. Sorry ... didn't know |
23 |
that it was |
24 |
referred to as net scripts (duh). |
25 |
|
26 |
I've looked through net and have found some interesting options for both |
27 |
dhcpcd (e.g. dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10", which seems to be a dhcpcd command line |
28 |
parameter), and for |
29 |
"generic" dhcp (e.g. dhcp_eth0="release nodns nontp nonis nogateway |
30 |
nosendhost").. |
31 |
|
32 |
1. Have seen nothing that lowers dhcpcd privilege!? What am I missing? |
33 |
(dhcpcd starts fine, but sits out there as a root process) |
34 |
|
35 |
2. Where can I get a list of other "generic" dhcp commands, please. |
36 |

Thanks for your (patient) help! (newbie) |
