Good to know, but I hope you are designing for a community of users that extends beyond the area served by your routers??!! Excerpt from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt Code: -------------------- 4.3.1 DHCPDISCOVER message When a server receives a DHCPDISCOVER message from a client, the server chooses a network address for the requesting client. If no address is available, the server may choose to report the problem to the system administrator. If an address is available, the new address SHOULD be chosen as follows: o The client's current address as recorded in the client's current binding, ELSE -------------------- It seems to me that we know we are buggy on the client side but the SHOULD clause in RFC2131 says we *should* be okay. In my case I've been wondering ever since I got my Wandboard why the IP address changes so frequently, a fact that can be judged by my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file: Code: -------------------- $ cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | grep 10.0.1 | awk '{print $1}' | sort 10.0.1.57 10.0.1.58 10.0.1.59 10.0.1.60 10.0.1.65 10.0.1.66 10.0.1.67 10.0.1.68 10.0.1.75 10.0.1.79 10.0.1.85 10.0.1.86 10.0.1.87 10.0.1.90 10.0.1.94 10.0.1.95 10.0.1.97 10.0.1.98 -------------------- All of these have been IP addresses assigned to my Wandboard in the past few weeks. I'll wait for a week of running using my patch to /usr/libexec/ntpdate-wrapper before I can be absolutely sure whether I have a fix. Let's just say I'm quietly confident at this point! BTW, do you/we have an issues tracking database for CSOS? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
