Some dhcpcd stuff still runs after a purge

[davef]

Even though I have done a:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge dhcpcd

I still get a lot of dhcpcd-related entries in syslog.

Doing a :

Code: Select all

 sudo find -name dhcpcd* -print

The following files still remain:

Code: Select all

./etc/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service.d/wait.conf
./etc/dhcpcd.secret
./etc/dhcpcd.duid
./run/dhcpcd
./run/dhcpcd.unpriv.sock
./run/dhcpcd.sock
./run/dhcpcd.pid
./sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system.slice/dhcpcd.service

Hers's a snippet of syslog:

Code: Select all

Can I just delete those files?

Thanks,

You'll need to reboot after making that kind of radical change to the default networking set-up.

[davef]

Pretty sure I rebooted several times, but will try again.

Thanks,
Dave

Have you tried:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge dhcpcd5

[davef]

I will try that and report back in about a week. The Pi is in a remote location.

Thanks,
Dave

[davef]

Thanks Dougie. Looks like after the last session of removing dhcpcd5/dhcpcd I didn't reboot.

Now, all that remains is:

Code: Select all

./etc/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service.d/wait.conf
./etc/dhcpcd.secret
./etc/dhcpcd.duid

and it doesn't run. Gr8
