From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 Description of problem: for some reason, using dhcp configuration results in an infinite lease on my dhcp server(RH7.2 i586). I'm not sure whether this is a client or server problem. default-lease-time and max-lease-time options have been set. With a RH7.2 client this would also happen, but it seemed that setting the DHCP_HOSTNAME in ifcfg-eth0 made the lease more correct. This does not seem to be the case on skipjack. Windows clients result in correct leases on the server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable DHCP on an interface 2. Restart networking Actual Results: on the server, examining the /var/lib/dhcp/dhcp.leases, the new entry for the test-client shows an end time 1 second before the start time Expected Results: on the server, examining the /var/lib/dhcp/dhcp.leases, the new entry for the test-client should show an end time <default-lease-time> after start time. Additional info: As noted above I'm not entirely sure where the problem lies. This could easily be a server problem or maybe even a configuration problem - But nothing I've tried has made it go away for good!
