Description of problem: long story short: If I kill dhclient process, it may not come back: root 2122 0.2 0.0 522904 13064 ? Ssl 16:07 0:00 /usr/sbin/Netwo rkManager --no-daemon root 2486 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 16:07 0:00 \_ [dhclient] <defunct> long story with the glory details: I have a bridge which takes its address using dhcp. That bridge is also used by guests to access my LAN segment. Time to time the bridge starts with the wrong MAC address (vnet0 one) and then I just kill dhclient so it tries again. That's when it sometimes gets stuck in that situation with dhclient as zombie. Then I have to restart NetworkManager too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-1.0.12-2.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Not always, but quite often. Steps to Reproduce: 1.setup an interface to use dhcp 2.bring it up 3.kill dhclient 4.check if it became a zombie Actual results: Sometimes dhclient process is not cleaned and doesn't come back Expected results: dhclient to be fully restarted, as it was a kill but it could have been an app crash and it should keep working Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
