Since today (1st of October, until yesterday dhcpcd worked fine) the dhcpcd shows an obscure bahaviour at home where my ThinkPad T41 is connected via a straight DSL modem to my provider, BTW 3.0.16-r1 works fine. Here's the output and the relevant files: n22 ~ # rm /var/lib/dhcpcd/* n22 ~ # ifconfig eth0 down n22 ~ # ifconfig eth0 up n22 ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * dhcp * Running dhcpcd ...

Reproducible: Always Actual Results: DHCP never stops and gives an ip address although there's no DHCP server. Expected Results: DHCP should timeout w/o an ip address at home. n22 ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8-pppoe i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8-pppoe i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz Timestamp of tree: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.muntinternet.net/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mneisen.org/ http://213.186.33.37/gentoo-distfiles/ http://212.219.56.139/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa apache2 arts asf berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cddb clamav cli cracklib crypt css cups dri dvd dvdr dvdread dynamicplugin encode exif fam fastbuild fortran gdbm gif gpm gtk i8x0 iconv ipv6 isdnlog jai java javascript jimi jpeg kde logrotate madwifi mbox midi mikmod mmap mmx mmxext mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses nls nntp no-seamonkey nptl nptlonly nsplugin opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png pppd python readline real reflection samba session spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg tcpd tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode userlocales wifi win32codecs workbench x86 xml xorg xpm zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0 intel8x0m" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse joystick evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vga radeon" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Ok, thanks - next time I should _really_ read the doc. I added"-L" to the line dhcpcd_eth0="-L -t 20" - OTOH what's about adding an ewarn to the ebuild of dhcpcd for this (new) behaviour ?
