dhcpcd-discuss

Dear dhcpcd people,

Yesterday I reported the following issue to Systemd:

    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/16036

The problem is that sometimes when executing the Systemd command to stop dhcpcd, it takes 20 seconds to complete:

    sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd@en0.service

Apparently this command invokes `dhcpcd -x en0` and waits for all the dhcpcd processes to exit. After 20 seconds, a timeout occurs and Systemd sends SIGTERM instead.

I haven't been able to learn more about the issue, I just wanted to report it and move on. It makes restarting my computer very slow. However, Lennart Poettering is sure that it's a Dhcpcd problem and not a Systemd problem, so I had to resubmit the bug here. I pointed out to him that when I run `dhcpcd -x en0` on the command line then it always causes the daemon to exit immediately, it is only the `systemctl stop` command which doesn't work properly.

Best wishes,

Frederick
