Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
Greetings community,
After searching around the forum a bit, I see some people are having
a similar problem to mine, but not exactly the same. I hope someone
can offer some insight into it.
After performing a system update with pacman -Syu, the network
daemon doesn't seem to be functioning correctly on my system.
I have it in my daemons array in /etc/rc.conf; it reports no problems
at boot, likewise if I explicitly restart it with sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart.
But in both cases, no network access.
The strange thing is that if I stop the network daemon, and issue
dchpcd eth0, I get a lease from my router and I have network access.
Pings, digs etc all work fine after getting a lease with dhcpcd, but not
when restarting the network daemon explicitly. I'm using a stock 2.6.31
kernel. I hope someone can point out if I'm doing something incredibly
stupid, or offer any insight into my problem.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
Could you post your rc.conf, please?
I made it long
as I lacked the time to make it short...

Re: Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
Is there any indication as to why in your log files, eg. daemons.log, dmesg.log, messages.log etc?

Re: Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
Nothing erroneous sticks out in either daemon.log, dmesg.log or messages.log.
I started all the daemons in the foreground, ie took the @ from in front of them
all in /etc/rc.conf, and none of them report any failure.
ifconfig tells me eth0 has an IP, but there aren't any servers in /etc/resolv.conf.
When I use dhcpcd, I get nameservers, a lease and a network connection, so
I don't think there's any problem with hardware, either my NIC or router.

Re: Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
You could check few things:
1. Change DEAMONS line to this:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network iptables dnsmasq @sshd @crond @sensors)
and see if there are any errors.
2. Post the output of these commands
ifconfig -a
route
ps auxww
and these files
/etc/resolv.conf
right after boot.

Re: Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
No errors present themselves when I rearranged the DAEMONS array in
/etc/rc.conf as you suggested.
After boot we have:

Re: Network Daemon problem[SOLVED]
And here it is:
root 3261 0.0 0.0 1872 316 ? Ss 16:08 0:00 /sbin/dhcpcd -q -C resolv.conf eth0The "-C resolv.conf" option is causing the problem. Check /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd and /etc/rc.d/network files if you didn't add this option there and remove the option.

Gah, how can I not have seen that!
That solved it, thank you robertp - I owe you a whiskey!
