Package: dhcp3-server Version: 3.1.1-5 Severity: important
get-lease-hostnames is supposed to lookup the DNS name and supply that as a hostname to the client. This does not happen. I've traced the problem and it seems that i (=DHO_HOST_NAME) in dhcp.c:2605 is a dhcp_universe option, not a server_universe option. This patch fixes the problem. This was previously reported on the dhcp-server mailing list back in 2000, but it doesn't seem anyone picked it up. See also: http://marc.info/?l=dhcp-server&m=97257932431155&w=2 I use this for supplying netboot (clean slate) clients with a hostname. In the dhcp package (2.0pl5-19.5etch2) this worked, but in lenny this package is no longer available.
