dhcpd not updating dhcpd.leases
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:57:12 EDT
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
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-+
