This results in an infinte loop where dhclient requests a new lease ~ every 5 seconds. Also, at no time does dhclient print an error message to advise you of what's going on. This is a problem for anyone who either has /etc/ mounted read only, or if /etc/resolv.conf is immutable. Note: this problems seems to have appears around the time of 4.6-RC as my last 4.5-STABLE build didn't have this problem. >How-To-Repeat: chflags schg /etc/resolv.conf; /sbin/dhclient ed0 >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
