Last Friday, my dhcp-3.0-alpha-19990412 server on Linux 2.0.36,
after running for about 24 hours without a hitch, suddenly died.
These were its last words:
Apr 23 17:09:07 arachne dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.70.102 from 00:00:b4:4e:45:d2
via eth0
Apr 23 17:09:07 arachne dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.70.102 to 00:00:b4:4e:45:d2 via eth0
Apr 23 18:21:20 arachne dhcpd: Non-null pointer in buffer_reference
(evaluate_option_cache)
Unfortunately it couldn't write a core file because it ran with a core
file size limit of zero. (I corrected that now, but too late.) A quick
scan of the source revealed quite a number of places where the
evaluate_option_cache() function is called, at which point I gave up.
In the meantime I have updated my server to 19990424, but I didn't
see any mention of this particular problem in the release notes, so I
thought I'd share it anyway. I am willing to post my dhcpd.conf file
if that would help, but wanted to ask first. (It's almost 10k in size,
although about 3/4 of it are fixed-address host declarations which I
could edit out.)
Apart from that incident, I am very pleased with the new version, and
with the possibilities of client classes in particular.
While I'm at it, a cosmetic point with the makefiles of 3.0-alpha:
The manpages are installed with mode 755. I think 644 would be more
appropriate.
