Bug 32807

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)


I've updated dhcpcd to add the following functionality:

1. Host name and domain names are reset to the original settings, and
   dhcd-<interface>.exe is executed, on "DHCP release".
2. /etc/yp.conf and /etc/ntp.conf are updated in a manner similar to
   /etc/resolv.conf.
3. domainname is always updated unless yp.conf update is disabled (in
   which case domainname update may be turned back on using the old
   '-D' option)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Boot....

I'm using dhcpcd rather than pump for the following two reasons:

1. It seems like I'm always going to need "event" scripts, and writing
   these is easier for dhcpcd becauase of the way it writes info files
   with sh syntax.
2. I'm having problems with the original versions of both, especially
   on laptops, but the behaviour of dhcpcd is more predictable (it
   simply fails to take some necessary steps) and therefore easier
   to update. (pump is incomplete _and_ unstable, e.g. it seems to
   exit halfway through for PCMCIA network, and some of the fields are
   sometimes transferred, sometimes not.)
