- After installation of a DELL PC with RH6.1 with NFS - kickstart method the system keeps sending bootp messages continuously using the "pump" process. How can I stop this ? I can kill pump of course, but I would like a more fundamental solution. I can see that for instance /etc/pump.conf is not created by default on the system, Thanks for your time. Marc ELSEN (elsen)
Is pump configuring your device properly? Does the flooding start immediately on boot?
No , the flooding does not start immediately on boot but after the system is fully up; e.g. after KDE or GNOME has been launched. Manual tests with killing and launching pump seems to indicate that a normal bootp sequence occurs upon invoking pump then after half a minute or so the flooding starts. Killing pump again resolves the problem. Regards, Marc.
For your information ;following a suggestion from someone in Dejanews I got my problem solved by replacing by using dhcpcd instead of pump in the /sbin/ifup script. Best Regards, Marc (elsen)
Could you add this to syslog.conf: *.debug /var/log/debug restart syslog, run pump, and send me that file along with your /var/log/messages output after you kill pump?
provided info through email.
What lease time are you getting? Running pump --status right after "pump" should give you this info.
Fixed in recent versions of pump.
