Hi List,

Lately I've been seeing a lot of this in my log files:

Jan  3 06:00:54 mdw1982 dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.252 from
00:08:a1:1d:53:c8 (manloki) via eth0
Jan  3 06:00:54 mdw1982 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.252 to
00:08:a1:1d:53:c8 (manloki) via eth0
Jan  3 06:01:58 mdw1982 dhcpd: client 00:08:a1:1d:53:c8 has duplicate
leases on 192.168.0.0/24

Line after line after line of it as a matter of fact. "manloki" is on of
two workstations. The IP address range that I've got set for DHCP is
192.168.0.250 - 192.168.0.252. What could this message be "really"
trying to tell me?
One of two possibilities: A, it's a laptop that comes and goes all the
time, or B, it's a non-Linux OS that disagrees about the DHCP
implementation. In either case, the workstation is ending up with
duplicate leases; I'll bet that they're on the same IP address too. I
would try making your range bigger first, and maybe tweak the lease time
to be longer.

third option:
You shouldn't have used the name Loki in this workstation name. ;) Wasn't he the Norse god of trickery? "The Mask" with Jim Carey was Loki's mask.
you know? you're right. I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if I change the hostname if some other annoying things would disappear? :)
