DHCPCD ver. 9.5.2-2 On Oracle Linux 7.9 Showing Permission Denied

[kmariset]

Hi Roy,

I have installed dhcpcd rpm package ver 9.5.2-2 on my machines using EPEL repository for Oracle Linux 7. On one machine, I am able to run this version without any issues. However on two other machines also with Oracle Linux 7, I am getting the following errors:

Jan 20 02:25:17 sca05-0a81e7d4 dhcpcd[25111]: dhcpcd is not running Jan 20 02:25:21 sca05-0a81e7d4 dhcpcd[25115]: dhcpcd-9.5.2 starting Jan 20 02:25:21 sca05-0a81e7d4 dhcpcd[25115]: setrlimit RLIMIT_FSIZE: Permission denied Jan 20 02:25:21 sca05-0a81e7d4 dhcpcd[25115]: setrlimit RLIMIT_NPROC: Permission denied Jan 20 02:25:21 sca05-0a81e7d4 dhcpcd[25118]: ps_root_startcb: dhcp_openraw: Permission denied Jan 20 02:25:21 sca05-0a81e7d4 dhcpcd[25118]: udev_monitor_new_from_netlink: Permission denied

Can you tell me why there is this discrepancy? How do I get around this? I have to use kill -9 on the dhcpcd process to bring my machine back to the bash prompt.

FYI, for any machine with Oracle Linux 8, EPEL repository comes bundled with version 10 of dhcpcd, which works perfectly fine.

Another thing, Oracle Linux runs on RHEL in case you didn't know.

For the bundled dhcpcd-10, does it come with privsep support enabled?` At a rough guess, I suspect the libc is newer than what dhcpcd expects. Does dhcpcd-10 work on oracle linux 7?

Sorry for the late reply btw, I didn't see this until now.
