Bug 33895 – dhcrelay does not have an init script but should have one

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Jackson (RETIRED) 2003-11-19 21:08:36 UTC]

dhcrelay does not have an init script but should - otherwise it will have to be
started manually

I suggest including a config file in /etc/conf.d as well to pass command line
args to dhcrelay

Note that dhcpd and dhcrelay may conflict but don't have to (e.g. if dhcrelay is
running on eth1 and dhcpd is running on eth0)

initscript for dhcrelay

This is what I think is a fairly reasonable init script for dhcrelay.  It does
not support chroot or dropping root, so those options have been removed vis a
vis the dhcp init script.

I have tested it on my system.

I will also send along a conf file for /etc/conf.d

Conf file for /etc/conf.d for dhcrelay init script

Here is the accompanying conf file.  The relay servers variable has to be
populated for the script to start correctly.

Committed as dhcp-3.02_p2-r3.  Any reason it doesn't work as the dhcp user?
