dhcpcd fails to stop
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:53:09 UTC
Upon initial installation of OpenSUSE 10, I choose dhcp for configuring the network card. Several days later, I configured a static IP address through the Yast2 interface, saved the changes and did nothing else. As the changes took effect immediately, I didn't think to restart the network service or to restart the PC. Evidently, the dhcp client (dhcpcd) was never killed. It remained alive, and at the end of its lease, it overwrote my settings. restarting the network component fixes this problem. Yast2 needs to either kill the dhcpcd process or restart the network service.
Please attach the yast logfiles of this scenario.
Please reopen this bug if the information asked for (yast logfiles) can be provided. Thanks.
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
