 Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2003 8:52 pm Post subject: dhcpd fails to start in scripts but will start manually.. |
 |
|
ok, i have two interfaces ( no nating or routing ), eth0 acquires an address from an upstream dhcpcd server sucessfully. eth1 has a fixed address.
the dhcpd server works when manually started via '/etc/runlevels/default/dhcp start'. Nodes off of eth1 sucessfulyl receive their addresses so dhcpd.conf is good. ( dhcpd only serves nodes on eth1 )
However, on system boot up my dhcp server never starts ( have to manually kick it off )... logs show nada... any ideas?
'net.eth0', 'net.eth1', and 'dhcp' are in '/etc/runlevels/default' |

What does your /etc/conf.d/net look like?
That is the file that tells the system that ethX is dhcpd (or fixed). You need: | Code: | iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..." |
uncomment out the 2nd line it send parameters to dhcpcd.

eth0 runs a dhcpcd client to fetch an adress. eth1 runs a dhcpd server for hte nodes down stream of eth1.
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-N"
iface_eth1="10.1.1.253 broadcast 10.1.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" |
and /etc/conf.d/dhcp
| Code: | IFACE="eth1"
DHCPD_OPTS="" |
the group of computers behind eth1 need dhcpd on the gentoo boxen... unfortuantely dhcpd never starts despite being in /etc/runlevels/default
Dose "need net" make sure both interfaces ( net.eth0 net.eth1 )are set up before proceeding? |

No. It only makes sure that at least one of them is running. It is set up as a client with multiple ways to connect (like hardware and wireless) it is not set up out of the box as a gateway.
I think it would be fairly easy to change things around a little so that the services start up in the exact order you want.
You probably only need to change one of the net.ethX scripts. You could rename the one you want to start first to prenet.ethX, copy conf.d/net to conf.d/prenet and then add "need prenet "to net.ethY | Code: | depend() {
use pcmcia
need prenet
} |
The alternative is to rename the one you want to start second. You will know which one to rename by knowing what the other startup scripts (that "need net") should wait for. If they only need the first ethX then rename the 2nd one. If they need both ethX and ethY then rename the first one.

rc-update can not find the new dependancy... | Code: | rc-update del net.eth1
mv /etc/init.d/net.eth1 /etc/init.d/net2.eth1
rc-udpate add net2.eth1 default
rc-update del dhcp |
changed /etc/init.d/dhcp | Code: | depend() {
need net net2
} |
then ran the following | Code: | rc-update add dhcp default
* dhcp added to runlevel default...
* Caching service dependencies...
* NEED: can't find service net2 needed by dhcp;
* continuing... [ ok ]
* rc-update complete. |
so the name of the script before the period does not automatically privide a service by that name... what does? |

changed /etc/init.d/net.eth1 to | Code: | depend() {
use pcmcia
provide dhcpdfix
} |
and /etc/init.d/dhcp to | Code: | depend() {
need net dhcpdfix
} |
