Well, what I would like to do is have the lease be given out for 15
minutes, the student then has enough time to sign up for the "real" ip
address. Currently the addresses given out by the Registration DHCP
server are blocked at the routers from leaving the campus. The problem I
am having is I have to rebuild the conf file on the Registration server
every 5 minutes to make sure there is a deny booting identifier in there
for every host I don't want to get one of the Registration IP addresses.
Currently the file has 3300+ hosts in it. By next fall I forsee it
increaseing to over 6000. So I guess my question is, with a host defined
in the dhcpd.conf file has deny booting, and there is still a lease for
that host in the dhcpd.leases file, when the host tries to renew, will
it be denied from that server or will it be allowed to renew that
address?
The second question I have, is there a way to change the permissions on
the lease file? Everytime the dhcp server is restarted the permissions
are reset to 600. But I need them to be 644 so the file can be parsed
for our registration system. I then have to do a chmod 644 to the file
so the program will work. The weird part is this machine is the exact
same configuration as the production DHCP server. And when ever the dhcp
server is restarted on the production DHCP server, the lease file
retains the 644 permissions.
Both machines are Sun UltraSparcs running Solaris 2.6 with
dhcp-2.0b1pl6.
