Yep. Turns out that Hendrik Sattler was correct in that the client is using 1/2 the value set in the server, although it's a debian client not a windows client that's doing that. Maybe all clients do that -- or maybe the server is sending 1/2 the config value (seems unlikely). Anyway setting default-lease-time 1200; now has the clients sending the request every ten minutes. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
