Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.0.1-1 This is not reported againt the latest version, but the debian changelog lists nothing relevant to the problem.
After running: leka# iptables --append INPUT --source 192.168.1.1 -j DROP leka# iptables --append INPUT --match mac --mac-source 00:30:54:40:00:40 -j DROP I would expect not to get replies from a bogus client setup as a server. However they still reach dhclient and assigns me an useless address. Both the packets and bytes counters increase, so surely the kernel do actually drop them. (Yes I told the network admin yesterday and gave him full information, but it is still around somewhere. The network being wireless makes it a bit tricky to figure out who is the criminal) The reason can be read in the README, I assume this is it: " This isn't generally a problem on Linux 2.2 and later kernels, since we completely bypass the Linux IP stack, " When a piece of software completely bypasses it's operating system it should still behave as it didn't. In this case apply those firewall rules on incoming packets. Thanks, -- /Martin
