|
|
The reason I ask this is I found the following running on my PC. Now I never installed a dhcp client myself. Why might this be running?
Do I need to be concerned by logs like:
os -ef
root 19792 1 0 Aug06 ? 00:00:00 /bin/dhclient -1 -q -lf dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases -pf /usrx/runx/dhclient-eth0.pid eth0
So our IP addresses are not static? but also do not change is that right?
Can anyone confirm this? |

| Default solution is DHCP. Linode addresses do not change and you can assign them statically if you wish. See this thread. |

Unless you move to a different datacenter. |

| The best reasons for using DHCP is so you don't have to do manual work when you clone your linode or move it to another data centre. |
