Thanks. That looks much better -- I think we should use mkstemp for the
config files too, if possible.
OK I will try and have a look at that (or you're welcome to!)
Is udhcp still actively maintained? I wonder if we can get the
mac-address patch in upstream; otherwise we might have to bring the
client source into our tree.
I've had no response to a patch I submitted and the last release was in
2002 so maybe we will have to do that for now.
The other option (and it may end up being necesary to address Ian's
point about physical NICs) would be to steal the guest's vif for the
dhcp'ing, since we know the guest won't be using it yet. I haven't
looked in detail at the plumbing of that, though.
That sounds like a better solution in the long-term. Hopefully the
existing approach already provides enough functionality to be useful to
people in the short-term though.
