Not sure if this is any cleaner though. The problem is that netconf has no dhclient-script anymore as it parses dhclient REASONS directly and then proceeds to use e.g. IP address and router stuff as if it had been gathered from /e/n/i. Thus, hooks are execvp()'d from netconf directly. If I wanted to allow hooks to modify the environment, I'd have to execvp() sh -c '. the_hook; env | while read line; do echo "ENVIRONMENT:$line' and then parse that stuff out of stdout, which, to put it mildly, is ASS. I'd really rather not. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
