Description Martin Vidner 2005-12-16 16:05:16 UTC

Dec 16 17:05:50 linux dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases: No such file or directory

It seems a directory needs to be changed in the spec file.
linux:~ # rpm -ql dhcp-client
/etc/dhclient.conf
/sbin/dhclient
/sbin/dhclient-script
/usr/share/man/man5/dhclient.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/dhclient.leases.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/dhclient-script.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/dhclient.8.gz
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

Hm, interesting -- this should have worked since quite some time, and I
can't find that directory defined anywhere in the source... I don't
think that it is configurable either, but can you check the command line
arguments and /etc/dhclient.conf nevertheless please?

Comment 2 Martin Vidner 2005-12-21 15:43:38 UTC

Ah, indeed the file is specified using -lf. The parent process is dhcdbd of the NM suite.

Comment 3 Peter Poeml 2005-12-22 10:30:58 UTC

dhcpbd -> Robert

Comment 4 Robert Love 2006-01-06 22:16:05 UTC

What does this have to do with dhcdbd?

I don't have that directory or see that error on my pure-NM machines.

Comment 5 Robert Love 2006-01-06 22:19:05 UTC

Oh, I see!  Fixed!

Submitting to autobuild ..

Comment 6 Robert Love 2006-01-06 22:26:26 UTC

updated dhcdbd in autobuild.
