I'm having trouble removing leases from my system. I have a client that accepted a lease in my DHCP range before I remembered to put it in /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts to give it a static lease.
I turned off the client, stopped dnsmasq, removed the lease file entry in /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases and then restarted dnsmasq. Then I restarted the client. It again found the original lease in my DHCP range instead of picking one from /etc/ethers (in fact it reports "not giving name ap.lan to the DHCP lease of 10.0.200.102 because the name exists in /etc/hosts with address 10.0.0.252"). How can I fully purge the lease and get it to start over? The client is an embedded device and has no memory of the lease once I power cycle it so somehow dnsmasq is remembering even though the lease file was purged. _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
