Bug 125828 – mark dhcpcd-2.0.3 stable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roy Marples (RETIRED) 2006-03-11 06:04:09 UTC]

dhcpcd-2.0.2 was put into the tree to fix a security flaw and has been made stable. However, there was a flaw with it and it's unreliable after a dhcp renew request and/or if you use >1 instance of dhcpcd.

I know it's not been in the tree for 30 days, but I think it should be made stable to fix bugs #124543 and #124675.

stable on ppc64

ppc stable.

I've been using this version of dhcpcd on alpha for a while without any problems. I re-tested it today. It fixes the flaws mentioned in this bug's description.

It blocks dhcpcd from being run twice on one interface...
topcat ~ # dhcpcd eth0
topcat ~ # dhcpcd eth0
****  dhcpcd: already running
****  dhcpcd: if not then delete /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file
topcat ~ # dhcpcd eth1
topcat ~ #

And it works after a renew (each renew worked; I checked the server logs)...
topcat ~ # dhcpcd -n
topcat ~ # dhcpcd -n

(server logs)

Mar 12 13:22:53 [dnsmasq] DHCPACK(eth1) 10.1.32.87 00:00:f8:75:5b:70
Mar 12 13:24:15 [dnsmasq] DHCPREQUEST(eth1) 10.1.32.87 00:00:f8:75:5b:70
Mar 12 13:24:15 [dnsmasq] DHCPACK(eth1) 10.1.32.87 00:00:f8:75:5b:70

I tested it with my router which is running the dhcp server provided by net-dns/dnsmasq-2.22.
