Title:
dhclient does not remain running on boot
Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Not sure whether this is a systemd or ifupdown issue. I just happened to notice today for a Wily VM (set up from server iso) that I failed to get a DNS resolution for a VM I started earlier the day. DNS updates in my case are related to DHCP updates. And on the DHCP/DNS server I noticed that the IP address had been removed at some point. Looking at the VM, I find no dhclient being started. When I manually run ifdown and ifup on the interface this does happen. But not whenever I boot.
Curious about this I also checked a Vivid VM (also server install) and this looks the same. However for Vivid this seems fixed in the latest versions.
Network config in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Expected result:
dhclient running for eth0
Actual result after boot:
No dhclient process is running.
