On Friday morning, I started having network problems. wicd would try |
| 24 |
to connect to the access point, and fail. |

A bit of tracking plus memories of bygone days led me to realise that, |
| 48 |
for some reason, the two copies of dhcpcd client were being run! One |
| 49 |
was started by wicd, after it associates to the AP. But how'bout the |
| 50 |
other one? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Well, on boot up this morning, I saw that, for the first time in a |
| 53 |
*very long while* that DHCPCD is being started at boot time as a |
| 54 |
service. Now, I am sure I didn't include it as a service. |
| 55 |

Okay, on the other hand rc-status showed something I haven't seen before |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
Dynamic Runlevel: needed |
| 92 |
sysfs [started] |
| 93 |
dhcpcd [started] |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
Huh, simple enough, some other service needs dhcpcd to be running. Okay. Let me |
| 96 |
see which one it is: |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
Gee-Mi-Ni init.d # grep dhcpcd /etc/init.d/* |
| 99 |
/etc/init.d/dhcpcd:command=/sbin/dhcpcd |
| 100 |
/etc/init.d/dhcpcd:pidfile=/var/run/dhcpcd.pid |
| 101 |
/etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant: before dns dhcpcd net |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
uh, apparently none of them? |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
Can someone help me figure out how to find the offending initscript that is |
| 106 |
needlessly calling dhcpcd? |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
Cheers, |
| 109 |
