Hello, Garrett. You wrote 21 =E0=E2=E3=F3=F1=F2=E0 2012 =E3., 15:40:35: GC>> Try reverting r239356 -- if that works, then please let jhb@ know. LS> I'm confused by this commit, because it seems (from comment alone), LS> that dhclient will not work without devd anymore (with "synchronous LS> dhcp" option in rc.conf). LS> Am I right? And if I'm right about understanding what this change does, it is POLA violation for sure. Both consequences: unable to use dhcclient without devd (user will need to restart it by hands after each cable unplugging event) and removing IP address from interface on cable unplugging or other interface down event but before lease is expired. If I'm right in understanding this commit, I vote to back it out and find better solution, may be, two new options: one to remove IP and one to exit on interface down. And default behavior should be OLD ONE about IP address in any case and OLD ONE about exit in case when dhclient isn't started by devd, but by rc scripts directly. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
