my `/var/lib/dhclient.lease' file is obsolutely empty. I tried to figure out how it can be filled, but I found nothing: any idea ?Dhclient is a DHCP client. Its role is to send a request for an IP adress, which is given by a DHCP server for a certain time (in general about 6 hours). After the end of this "lease" it must send another request and get a new IP adress. The information regarding the current lease should not be filled by the user. It has to be given by a DHCP server.
I understood this part.
You have to fix up the problem
hence my email ;-) According to the message in syslog, dhclient, as it could get the information from the net which was not Ok at taht time, tried to get default information from `/var/lib/dhclient.lease'. Jerome
