A fix in Debian is fine for me. If its available in Debian, then it is just a matter of time till it reaches Ubuntu (hopefully). I just posted a metoo for the bug report on Launchpad, since I stumbled over it on an Ubuntu installation. > No Debconf *note* (they're deprecated) but possibly a low priority > question offering to enable the option defaulting to off - like I say, > take a look at the Samba WINS configuration, that's a good example. > Actually I would suggest to accept the dhcp options by default (independent from nis or Samba or whatever). Either dhcp is available, or it is not. _If_ dhcp is there, then this is a central part of the infrastructure, usually managed by somebody who feels responsible for the whole local network. In general I doubt that this admin guy prefers to see all the dhcp options in his precious config file being ignored by the clients. I understand that there might be security concerns about the options provided by any dhcpd, but authentication of the server would be the job of the dhcp-client package. > In any case, you need to get dhclient to export the information first. > I had the chance to check OpenSuse's support for this feature today: Suse's dhclient-script simply generates /etc/ypserv.conf. I could provide a similar script for the dhclient hook directories, if you are interested?
