Hello,
as of 9.1.2 it's not longer possible to redirect both standard output
and standard error to a file. Works with 9.1.1 and with 9.1.2 if privsep
is disabled.
# dhcpcd --debug &> /tmp/dhcpcd.log
# ps ax | grep dhcp
1285 ? S 0:00 dhcpcd --debug
1286 ? S 0:00 dhcpcd --debug
1289 pts/9 S+ 0:00 grep dhcp
# cat /tmp/dhcpcd.log
dhcpcd-9.1.2 starting
spawned privileged actioneer on PID 1285
spawned network proxy on PID 1286

DUID 00:04:90:c0:16:40:d2:88:11:e7:a2:96:2c:fd:a1:5a:a7:99
chrooting to `/var/lib/dhcpcd' as dhcpcd
dhcpcd_fork_cb: truncated read 0 (expected 4)
This is on a Linux system.
Thanks
