There have been some complaints about dhcpd / dhclient
emitting messages for interfaces that they shouldn't
be looking at on Linux, like:
' Listening on LPF/sit0/
Sending on LPF/sit0/
' ( IPV6-in-IPV4 tunnel)
' Listening on LPF/lo/
Sending on LPF/lo/
' ( Loopback )
And then logging messages like:
' dhclient: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
'
To forestall these annoying messages, here is a patch
against dhcp-3.0.2rc2/common/discover.c .
-- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis --
-- Type: text/x-patch
-- File: restrict-discover-unconfigured-IFs.patch
