A useful bit of information here: ISC dhcpd uses raw sockets to grab incoming packets before they pass through the IP stack and IP tables, it therefore doesn't suffer from problems caused by broken firewall rules. Dnsmasq uses standard IP sockets so that all incoming packets are filtered by iptables.
It is therefore not the case that having dhcpd work with firestarter means that the problem is solved and firestarter just has to do the same for dnsmasq as for dhcpd. WIth dhpcd the problem is moot, but with dnsmasq firestarter really has to get it right. >From the dnsmasq FAQ: Q: I'm using dnsmasq on a machine with the Firestarter firewall, and DHCP doesn't work. What's the problem? A: This a variant on the iptables problem. Explicit details on how to proceed can be found at http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2005q3/000431.html Cheers, SImon. -- dnsmasq's dhcp blocked to clients by firestarter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
