Greetings In debian-edu we have a small problem (among of some bigger ones).
We need to use dhcp3-server to make it easier to manage thin clients booting either with pxe or with etherboot. But to manage the dhcp3-server we also needs to have a administration frontend for it. As of now, we uses webmin for our administration tasks, but there is a conflict between webmin-dhcpd and dhcp3-server. well, actually the conflict is that webmin-dhcpd depends upon "dhcp-server | dhcpd", while dhcp3-server provides none of them, but instead conflicts with dhcp, which is the only package in sarge that actually provides dhcpd. This is bugged in BTS as #260608. I submitted a patch to create a webmin-dhcpd3 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=260608&msg=5), but I'm not sure if it's the correct way to deal with the problem. I guess the first bug-report for this is actually #204306, where it's assumed that dhcp3-server will replace dhcp-server eventually. Well, it doesn't look like it's going to happen for sarge, and even if it did, the config file for webmin-dhcpd will still be wrong for a dhcp3-server installation. looks like the problem really is #139873 Any thoughts about how to solve this. Even though all options that are availible in dhcp3-server is not configurable in webmin-dhcpd, I know of none where webmin-dhcpd breaks the config of dhcp3-server. If so please, tell, as we really depend on dhcp3-server and webmin-dhcpd working together in debian-edu -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/
