Comments/Problems:
Overall great. Problem with DHCP:
On a clean boot I don't have any DNS servers configured in
/etc/resolv.conf. To my knowledge, there is nothing unusual about my
situation.
I installed "testing" when given the choice, and just stuck with
defaults as far as I can remember. This means I have the package
dhcp-client installed, not dhcp3-client.
ifup -a gets run by /etc/init.d/networking, and this fails to properly
configure the dns servers. It does however retrieve the dns server
information and store it in /var/run/dhclient.eth0.leases:
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 154.20.103.190;
option subnet-mask 255.255.192.0;
option routers 154.20.64.254;
option domain-name-servers
64.114.195.135,209.53.4.150,209.53.4.130,64.114.195.136;
option domain-name "bc.hsia.telus.net";
option dhcp-lease-time 345600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 64.114.195.133;
renew 3 2004/5/12 04:00:15;
rebind 4 2004/5/13 16:00:15;
expire 5 2004/5/14 04:00:15;
}
I think the script /etc/network/if-up.d/000resolvconf should set
things up here, but the $R environment variable contained within
remains unset (presumably this means that the $IF_DNS_DOMAIN,
$IF_DNS_SEARCH, $IF_DNS_SORTLIST and $IF_DNS_NAMESERVERS variables are
not set). I don't know why. I guess ifup doesn't properly set those
when it runs dhclient?
"ps ax | grep dhclient" returns:
4294 ? Ss 0:00 dhclient -e -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid
-lf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
I guess those are the options used by ifup. Running dhclient after
boot (as root) with no options on the command line gets things running
(as would fixing it manually...).
Looked at the README for resolvconf and it does not mention
dhcp-client, only dhcp3-client, which I guess isn't used in d-i by
default yet.
Unsure why I haven't seen other reports of this...
