From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup is responsible for invoking dhclient where/when appropriate. When run, ifup invokes dhclient to use a config file specific to that device; this is fine, though it may be a matter of taste. However, the config files are /etc/dhclient-${IFACE}.conf -- e.g. /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf. This is Ugly(TM) (IMO.) These config files should go in either /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, or at least in a new /etc/dhclient.d/ or something. (I personally favor /etc/dhclient.d/, but whatever.) Note that this is a style/consistency thing, not a true bug (since ifup does work as-is.) This may be related to bug 74862. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up w/ DHCP enabled. Actual Results: dhclient looks for iface-specific config data in /etc/dhclient-${IFACE}.conf Expected Results: dhclient should look for iface-specific config data in something like /etc/dhclient.d/dhclient-${IFACE}.conf Additional info:
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. At this point, I doubt that this will change, it doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
