Public bug reported:
sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
installing...
starting ... [fail]
Personally I don't actually want it to start - you don't want to bring
up a dhcp server on install, it will most likely break your network.
So pretty much just remove the 'start server' part of the install
scripts.
And then maybe setup a valid config that is similar to what wifi APs do:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.254 ;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1 ;
}
dns is 'tricky' - APs have a dns forwarder, dhcpd does not (fine.)
I would be happy if the install grabbed what was currently in
/etc/resolve.conf:
$ grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.7
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.7;
yeah, it isn't quite that easy, but it's very doable.
