[Devil-linux-develop] Options for DHCP-Client dhcpcd

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

Just found out that at the moment there's no way to pass additonal
options to the dhcp client (dhcpcd). As I don't want to let someone
from the outside change my dns or ntp settings I had to pass it the
options "-R" and "-N".

 From "man dhcpcd":
        -R     Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/resolv.conf file.
        -N     Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/ntp.conf file.
others might need:
        -G     Prevents dhcpcd from setting a route to the default gateway. This
               is useful when multiple processes of dhcpcd are running and you
               want to control which one is allowed to set the default route.
        -S     Keep  the  searchlist  from an existing resolv.conf when replacing
               the file.  dhcpcd will add it to the domainname received from the DHCP server.
        -c <ExecFilePath>
               dhcpcd  will  try to execute <ExecFilePath> script instead of default
               <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd.exe script every time it configures or brings down
               the interface. See the description of dhcpcd.exe script in
               FILES section below.

I used DL 0.5 but copied the /etc/init.d/network script from 0.6pre
and patched it (Patch below).

I won't check this into the current Devil build tree as I'm currently
not sure to solve this globally. Should this be in
etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-ethX or better in etc/sysconfig/config?

Comments please!
