Maybe I am way off base here, but I seem to have hit an impasse. I am trying to install my second SME server onto my network. The server has been configured in serveronly mode. I would like to have the server get its IP address from the router on the network. So I copied the 90otherparms template from /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX and copied the "ExternalDHCP" line from the "isexternal" section to the internal section. I then updated that key in the e-smith dbs to be set to on. So far so good.
Here is were things break down. I now need dhcpcd to be enabled on boot. I have followed the instructions in the FAQ excuting the following:
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop dhcpcd status enabled
which works fine. Then I do
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
as directed. When I do that it always goes back to disabled. Then through a google search, I see a note that says that dhcpcd is permanently disabled in serveronly mode. This has led me to the conclusion that I am going down the wrong path. Can anyone point me toward the right one?
