Bug 35751 – chroot'ed DHCPD fails to stop on command

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peeyotch 2003-12-13 12:39:14 UTC]

When DHCPD is run chroot'ed, "/etc/init.d/dhcp stop" reports [!!] and the process continues to run.

STEPS TO DUPLICATE
1) emerge dhcp
2) edit /etc/conf.d/dhcp to use chroot, /etc/init.d/dhcp start
3) attempt /etc/init.d/dhcp stop

WHY IT HAPPENS

The stop() section of the init file fails to account for the possibility of a chrooted setup.  

HOW TO FIX IT

confirmed after re-emerge

Another comment:

The ebuild does not automatically create and chown to dhcp:dhcp the /chroot/dhcp/var/run/dhcp directory needed for dhcpd to store its PID.
