Re: Bug#133790: dhcp-client continues running after removal
Chris,
This is one that I am actually not sure how to handle. The problem is
that dhclient is not being started by a script in the dhcp-client
package (like /etc/init.d/dhcp-client or something like that.) It is
being started by ifup or by the PCMCIA scripts (/etc/pcmcia/network.)
I suppose I could kill any dhclient running upon removal, but that
might cause problems with the PCMCIA stuff or the ifup/ifdown stuff.
People in debian-devel: suggestions?
Cheers!
Eloy.-
