This technical identifier refers to a specific build of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client Daemon. Breakdown of the Identifier
ps aux | grep dhcpcd
# Should show: /usr/sbin/dhcpcd -b -q eth0
ifconfig eth0
# Confirm 192.168.1.x (or whatever your DHCP leases)
The "Unplug" Test: The simplest way to verify is to watch your router’s device list while you unplug suspicious gadgets one by one. When the "dhcpcd" entry disappears, you’ve found your culprit. dhcpcd-6.8.2-armv7l
#!/bin/sh
[ "$reason" = PREINIT ] && exit 0
if [ -n "$new_ip_address" ]; then
logger -t dhcpcd "Interface $interface got $new_ip_address"
fi
If you’d like, I can:
sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd
