Description Bastien Nocera 2003-08-28 15:21:07 UTC 
dhcpd is not updating dhcpd.leases when giving away IP addresses.
The versions tested are:
3.0pl1-23 (stock RHL9)
3.0pl2-6.13 (lastest rawhide)

An lsof | grep dhcp should /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases being opened
IP addresses being assigned are showing in /var/log/messages
Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-24 22:46:54 UTC 
dhcpd no longer records static leases in its database -
ie. leases of a 'fixed-address' :
 subnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm {
      host n {     
                 hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
                 fixed-address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn;
             }
} 
This is a STATIC LEASE and will NOT be recorded in
the dhcpd.leases database.

Only DYNAMIC LEASES, such as
subnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm {
       range xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
}
are recorded in the database - this works OK with
dhcp-3.0.1-+
