Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5-19.5etch2
Severity: minor
'man dhpc' states:
"DHCP leases can be assigned almost any length from zero
seconds to infinity."
It does not state how to assign infinity. Which are the
lengths that can not be assigned? Can there be only
integral seconds assigned? Up to which limit?
What is the purpose of assigning 0 seconds? Such a lease
would expire before it arrived at the client, even if the
client were identical with the server machine.
It might save some trouble to note, that infinite leases are
usually a bad idea, which I found out from
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/rzakg/rzakgconceptleases.htm

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/500028 in Debian BTS
against the package dhcp. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
