This is probably a client bug. It may also be that the tektronix is
getting more information than its input buffer allows. It's tough to
make any guesses with the tcpdump output you sent - if you want to
send bug reports in the future, please ask for complete output:
tcpdump -vv -e -s 1500 -x udp port 67
You should get rid of the group statement around the tektronix printer
- it's not doing anything, and it wastes memory and time. Likewise,
it's possible that you're suffering from a scoping bug, so try
getting rid of the other group statement. Change this:
group {
use-host-decl-names on ;
next-server server ;
filename "/ris/kit/vmunix1" ;
option root-path "/ris/kit" ;
host client {
hardware ethernet 0:0:f8:1f:cc:12 ;
fixed-address client ;
}
}
to this:
host client {
use-host-decl-names on ;
next-server server ;
filename "/ris/kit/vmunix1" ;
option root-path "/ris/kit" ;
hardware ethernet 0:0:f8:1f:cc:12 ;
fixed-address client ;
}

Joind is erroneously setting giaddr to its own IP address. Don't ask
me why. It shouldn't make a difference.

The fixed-address declaration is as permanent as it gets. You can
set a longer lease interval if you want.
