Public bug reported: I'm regularly receiving these via logcheck:
May 10 08:02:51 medlycott dhcpd: DHCPACK to 87.42.170.137 (<no client hardware address>) via eth0 May 10 08:02:51 medlycott dhcpd: DHCPACK to 87.42.170.137 (<no client hardware address>) via eth0 May 10 08:02:51 medlycott dhcpd: DHCPACK to 87.42.170.137 (<no client hardware address>) via eth0 A port scan tells me it's a windows machine making the requests. According to this post, it corresponds to certain applications (such as flash) sending out a DHCPINFORM so they get back network info. http://www.archivesat.com/dhcp-server.isc.org/thread237578.htm Whether they should do this is questionable, but it's definitely not a problem fixable in dhcpd. ** Affects: logcheck (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- dhcpd "(<no client hardware address>)" error is harmless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
