I've been using RH 7.3 and dhcpcd with no problems. I recently upgraded to
RH 9.0 (new install) and it does not have dhcpcd. I am now trying to use
dhclient to obtain an IP address from Comcast. I am able to obtain an IP
with no problem, but I am not getting my resolv.conf updated with any DNS
information. I am running the command as 'dhclient eth0' with eth0 being my
interface to the world. I looked on my 7.3 machine and it has dhclient
installed also. I removed my resolv.conf file on 7.3, killed dhcpcd with
'dhcpcd -k' and ran 'dhclient eth0'. I was surprised when I saw that it
created the /etc/resolv.conf file and had all the info I needed. Anyone
know why dhclient would update resolv.conf on 7.3 and not on 9.0? I was not
able to find much on the net. Thanks.
