Why are you deleting it? Read http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1531.txt Read dhcpd.leases (5) to understand what that file does and how dhcpd hands out addresses. > does not create the list of clients that are assigned the dynamic IP's. You have just deleted that list. dhcpd has no other knowledge of its allocations than this file. [...] > Also i wanted to know the behaviour of dhcpd when an IP lease is finished. > i.e. whether the name of the client(MAC address) and IP will be removed from > the dhcpd.leases file or not. Its not removed - the current time is beyond the "ends"-time and the server knows that this IP is free to be reused. However, the addr is not reassigned to other clients unless there are no other unassigned adresses. /B. -- Sebastian Benoit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If mass-email wouldn't work, you woudn't be reading this! -- found in spam-email
