Imo its this category: "Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). " (thanks for pointing to the patch)
** Description changed: - check_dhcp -s uses wrong ip-address if the dhcp-server answers with a - next-server ip set which is =! the dhcp server ip. + [Impact] + specific windows dhcp-servers can't be checked, only if a dhcp-server exists in a subnet. thats bad because faulty dhcp-servers will be detected as fine. - this bug seems to be fixed upstream, see - http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=397597&aid=3503921&group_id=29880 + [Test Case] + setup a windows 2008 r2 dhcp server with the option boot-server set to an ip != dhcp-server and run check_dhcp -s <server ip> against it. it will receive a response but detect it as invalid because it uses the ip from set for the boot server (next-server). - - this currently makes check_dhcp -s <ip> unusable for us, without -s it works fine (but is bad as it could get a response from a failed router for example) + [Regression Potential] + low, as only check_dhcp could be broken by the patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1119145 Title: check_dhcp -s <hostaddress> doesn't work if dhcp-server answers with different next-server ip To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nagios-plugins/+bug/1119145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
