No idea what's this about. qb4w0p7r02@sneakemail.com 2006-12-19 08:41:23 0000 sorry. package is net-misc/dhcp-3.0.5 file is /sbin/dhclient-script > assuming that everyone uses some weirdo busybox stuff plain doesn't work... Charmed, I'm sure. The script starts with "#!/bin/bash" which will break on any system that doesn't have bash installed. On the other hand "#!/bin/sh" should work for anything that's Bourne shell based. uberlord@gentoo.org 2006-12-19 09:05:33 0000 (In reply to comment #0) > Otherwise, if bash isn't installed (as is generally the case on embedded > builds) dhclient fails with "file not found" That's a fair point, but on on embedded systems then udhcpc or dhcpcd would be used as ISC's dhcp is very bloated :) # ls -l /sbin/{dhcpcd,dhclient,pump,udhcp*} -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 358640 2006-11-06 09:29 /sbin/dhclient -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38312 2006-12-19 12:01 /sbin/dhcpcd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60216 2006-06-16 16:39 /sbin/pump lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2006-07-25 21:49 /sbin/udhcpc -> udhcpd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27672 2006-07-25 21:49 /sbin/udhcpd uberlord@gentoo.org 2006-12-19 09:07:56 0000 (In reply to comment #2) > The script starts with "#!/bin/bash" which will break on any system that > doesn't have bash installed.

Not entirely accurate - if bash is invoked by #!/bin/sh then it turns off all non POSIX functions, which is a fair bit. Luckily dhclient-script doesn't use any of that, so I'll update it in one of the ~ARCH versions. uberlord@gentoo.org 2006-12-20 04:36:17 0000 Fixed in dhcp-3.0.5 and 3.1.0_alpha2
