It started with Brantley noting that our clients were sending dhcp request messages on average about one every two seconds. He rebooted to see if it would go away and now he can't get a terminal. We replaced dhcpd on April 20 via replica/pull. I guess we haven't rebooted our terminals since then. We're using the ``proper'' plan9 setup with diskless terminals and separate cpu/fs servers. /sys/log/ipboot contains lines of the form: edsac Apr 24 12:42:37 not bootrequest We replaced dhcpd with an older version, restarted it, and all seems to be back to normal. It is indeed hard to use yesterday without singing. :) Sam On Thu, 24 Apr 2003, David Presotto wrote: > I think rob saw this also. Could you send me the ip/ipconfig line > that you're using.
