dhcpcd-discuss

Greetings,

If I add the following line to dhcpcd-definitions.conf and rebuild dhcpcd from the source code, then my change to dhcpcd.conf works as expected.

define 252 string pac_url

Is there an issue here?  I didn't know the dhcpcd.conf 'define' command needed changes to dhcpcd source code.

Greetings,

I'm trying to configure dhcpcd to retrieve the proxy auto-config (pac) url using DHCPv4 option 252.  I put the following two lines in /etc/dhcpcd.conf.

define 252 string pac_url
option pac_url

With these settings, dhcpcd v 6.3.2 still does not send option 252 in the Option 55 Parameter Request List in the DHCP request.  I even tried the following line instead but it did not work.

define 252 request string pac_url

I've also tried this -

define 252 string pac_url
option 252


What am I doing wrong?

Paul
