The following reply was made to PR bin/165477; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ian Lepore <freebsd@damnhippie.dyndns.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, wblock@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/165477: [rc] dhclient is run twice Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:31:24 -0600 I did some investigation of this when the question first came up on the mailing lists. Here's what I learned... The first instance of dhclient is started normally by rc.d/dhclient. Later, when devd starts, it processes a bach of bufferered up events delivered to it by devfs, and one of those events is a LINK_UP event which causes devd to run "rc.d/dhclient quietstart". Changes introduced in r226345, merged to 8-stable in r231278, changed the behavior of dhclient with the "quietstart" parameter so that it is no longer quiet about the fact that an instance of dhclient is already running.home | help
