Description of problem: When network booting (nfs root), I end up with two dhclient's running Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-004-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot a nfs root client using dhcp to get ip address 2.ps -ef | grep dhclient 3. Actual results: Two dhclients are running Expected results: One dhclient running Additional info: The pre-pivot/10kill-dhclient.sh script attempts to kill the dhclient but fails. One can also try and manually kill the process, which also fails, unless SIGKILL is used (kill -9). The second dhclient is quite easy to kill. I have attached a strace to the dhclient process and then sent a plain kill (SIGTERM) and the recalcitrant dhclient process is stuck in select and never comes out. I can only conclude that the signals have been set to ignore, probably by dhclients parent. As a work around I've changed the pre-pivot/10kill-dhclient.sh to use "kill -9" which works Ok but could conceivably have negative consequences if the process was killed in the middle of writing a leases file, for example.
