Description Neil Horman 2004-10-18 12:16:40 UTC
Description of problem:
If an interface is ifup-ed with a config indicating
BOOTPROTO=[dhcp|bootp], and then the config is changed such that
BOOTPROTO=static, the dhcpcd or pump daemon is left running when
service network restart is run, leading to undesired interface address
changes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all

How reproducible:
allways

Steps to Reproduce:
1.config an interface to use dhcp or bootp
2.start the interface with service network restart or ifup
3.reconfig the interface such that BOOTPROTO=static
4.restart networking service
  
Actual results:
dhcpcd|pump is left running, and eventually the ip address will change
on the interface when the lease is renewed

Expected results:
dhcpcd|pump should be killed

Created attachment 105372 [details]
patch to kill appropriate dhcpcd|pump client after iface config has changed

This corrects the ifdown script to detect if a dhcpcd client is running on an
interface regardless of its current config, allowing the client to be properly
killed after its BOOTPROTO has changed.
