Hello, Thank you for the report. Can you please add information about version of initscripts package installed? rpm -qi initscripts Thank you!
Thank you for reporting this. First of all the bug should be reported against initscripts or reproduced with using of dchlient only. The bug was reported against beta version of software and most likely fixed in initscript version released. I'm closing the bug because of leak of data to analyze. Please reproduce the issue with stable version and reopen the bug with proper component if needed.
