dhcpcd 7 - beta3 observations

Wed Apr 19 15:20:09 2017Hello, I have been using version 6.11.5. I decided to look ahead at beta 3. I ran into a few items that I wanted to mention. The '-n' option causes a issue if used with other options. I was doing dhcpcd -b -n -f <conf file> because I wanted it to kill the existing instance and start up a new instance with changes to the conf file. Using beta3 this results in a error attempting to set the mtu. The output shows this error. eth0: if_setmtu: Bad file descriptor. wlan0: if_setmtu : Bad file descriptor. I believe this happens because the -n causes it to skip setting up some required sockets. I think this happens with 'if_opensockets(..)' in dhcpcd.c A minor issue was the debug output had a few places that said 'No such file or directory' after a label. It looks like it was failing to open some type of log file. Thanks Ken
