[Bug 505916] Re: UDHCPC not fetching lease from Windows DHCP server

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

I've filed LP #563056 which I suppose would be a better solution to this
problem.

Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Only the first terminal to boot is assigned a lease. Other terminals are unable to.

By changing the following line in /scripts/init-premount/udhcp in the initrd file:

if udhcpc -n -c '' -s /tmp/dhcp-script.sh -i $i $clientid_param $hostname_param $ip_param > /dev/null; then

to 

if udhcpc -n  -s /tmp/dhcp-script.sh -i $i $clientid_param $hostname_param $ip_param > /dev/null; then

The DHCPD client does not try to assign multiple blank client ID's to the Windows DHCP server and all terminals can then boot.
