Hello -
Wanting to try DHCP, I created a couple of /etc/* directories, opened ppp0
to my ISP, and invoked thusly (as 'su'):
# dhcpcd -r ppp0
I received an error message to the general effect:
'ppp0 not ethernet'
Invocation without a specified link gets an error message that dhcpcd's
'env' variable naming the link is not defined.
Can I invoke 'dhcpcd' to retrieve my host's configuration over the ppp link
to the host?
TIA-
