[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#553211: /sbin/dhclient: What is unclear about this issue?

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze2
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/dhclient


This report is marked "moreinfo".

What is unclear about this issue.

To reproduce:

1) netboot a box over eth0 eg. using one of the squeeze debian-live images
2) run "dhclint eth0"

Result: box dies
Expected: box keeps renewing dhcp leases as required by dhcp protocol

Thanks

Michal
