From Bugzilla Helper: 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.)

Hi, Apologies for the unresponsiveness of the previous dhcpcd packager, and thanks for the contribution. Would it be possible for you to get this directly into the canonical dhcpcd releases? You can reach the author at sv. Thanks.
I e-mailed the patches several months ago, and got a reply saying that they would probably be integrated shortly, but as far as I can tell, there has been no dhcpcd release after that...

It's in rawhide. That's all I can offer...
