Feedback: dhclient for Linux

Re: Question: route add unnecessary for dhclient? (Adam Goode)

Well, on Debian potato (or woody), dhclient is right there, as a package to install in dselect. It's interesting the way dhclient works in handling cross-platform issues. The binary itself does only platform independent things. Most of the platform specific implementation stuff is in /etc/dhclient-script, which is customized for your platform.

In that file, route is definitely called (correctly, as far as I can tell).

Debian also supports pump, but I'm not sure if it sets the default route correctly like dhclient seems to.

Thanks for your quick reply,

Adam Goode

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
