Description Stefan de Konink 2006-05-20 05:06:46 UTC
Today someone pointed me on his 'fantastic' dhcp replacement using rdisc -sf to receive routes in the network. Net.example doesn't have a default way to do this. Would be nice if one could do routes_eth0=( "rdisc" )
Comment 1 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-23 04:30:36 UTC
rdisc does not run on any specific network interface, so that is a really bad example. However, you could do this in conf.d/net

postup() {
   [[ ${IFACE} == "lo" ]] && rdisc -sf
}

Or launch it in local.start
Or request an init script for it.
