Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dhcp3-server
Using webmin I specified the dhcp server to listen only for two (eth0
and eth2) of my three (eth1 additionally - is ma WAN interface) network
interfaces.
My pc connected to the eth0 successfully was assigned an ip. Though
being connected to eth2 this failed.
After a long session on network analysis I finally found the dhcpd3
server process looking like
/usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q eth0 eth2 -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid -cf
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
According to the man pages this is not valid, the ethX should be the
last parameters. Running the dhcpd3 with the interfaces as last
parameters, everything works now as expected.
In /etc/init.d/dhcpd3-server script I moved the $INTERFACES to the end
of the parameter list.
Though I have no explanation why the original version worked for eth0
... ?
Versions:
- ubuntu server 6.06.1 (uptodate when writing this)
- dhcp3-server 3.0.3-6ubuntu7
- webmin 1.300
