A bit of clarification... The dhcp server is not working at all when run as a daemon process. I was mistaken before.
I have specified the interfaces to run on in the command line. dhcpd -f em1 em2 <- works fine dhcpd em1 em2 <- doesn`t work I have run tcpdump on my wired lan interface, i see the dhcp requests, but the replies are only ever sent when dhcpd is running in the foreground. -----Original Message----- Date: Monday, August 16, 2010 12:09:23 am To: "Michael McCool" <mccoo...@yahoo.com> Cc: misc@openbsd.org From: "Olivier Mehani" <sht...@ssji.net> Subject: Re: ISC DHCP 4.2 On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 08:52:51PM -0700, Michael McCool wrote: > When running the ISC 4.2 dhcpd (using the old config file) in the > foreground/debugging (-f or -f -d), clients on both my wired lan > (segment 1) and wireless lan (segment 2) can obtain IP addresses just > fine.

Just a quick guess from my not so recent experiece: Did you specify all the relevant interfaces in /etc/dhcpd.interfaces? -- Olivier Mehani <sht...@ssji.net> PGP fingerprint: 4435 CF6A 7C8D DD9B E2DE F5F9 F012 A6E2 98C6 6655 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
