I had put an echo statement in ifup to check if it is
getting called but it wouldn't even come up in the
messages log. Now I understand why - dhclient is not
calling ifup, ifup is calling dhclient. Silly me!

However my fundamental problem remains - at bootup
dhclient does not do the same thing that it does after
bootup. One way I see of getting around this is to
create a script which will call dhclient explicitly.
Can you tell me how I can do this? As in -
1. What should I name the file so it runs during
startup in the right place - before or after network,
before some other critical script  etc
2. What should be present in the script that is the
equivalent of running "dhclient eth0" from the command
line?

Thanks,

Ajit
