I've been using, with RH 5.2, ipchains rules and scripts as written by Robert Zeigler: http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net/linux/faq/index3.html Unfortunately, under 6.0, the dhcpcd interface information file is no longer created, so ipchains rules use the IP address I had weeks ago and thus don't work. Why was this removed, or what has it been changed to? I don't see anything in the ipup script (besides running pump to manage the DHCP requests) to allow me to fix this, short of writing my own script to extract this information from output of pump. This seems like a bug to me, since getting this information from dhcpcd is critical for using ipchains. Please fix this. Thanks very much. -- Dave Dittrich dittrich.edu
I believe that mkdir /etc/dhcpc the info file may once again be created. If I'm wrong, then please reopen this bug.
