I am setting up a general purpose server at home (DHCP/caching DNS/SAMBA) and have a question about the BusyBox DHCP daemon (udhcpd) in Debian squeeze. I have a pretty basic setup, but would like to have a couple devices at a known IP address. I currently have these reserved in the appliance that I am replacing so that a specific MAC address always gets the same IP address. I found info online about an option that can be added to udhcpd.conf: static_lease 00:de:ad:be:ef:00 1.2.3.4 Which looks like exactly what I need. The problem is, I don't know if it is supported in the version of udhcpd that is supplied with squeeze. None of the docs I have mentions Does anybody know if it is just an undocumented command, or should I just try it and see if it complains? If need be, I can convert the devices in question to static IP and decrease the top end to below them since there are only a few and all are at the top of the range. It would be nice if it worked though. - Mike Scott -- Linux Users Of Northern Illinois (Chicago) - Technical Discussion http://luni.org/mailman/listinfo/luni
