[Bug 233937] New: YaST@ writes dhcpd.conf that is incorrect
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233937 Summary: YaST@ writes dhcpd.conf that is incorrect Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mvdv@spamcop.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I'm a linux novice hence the 'major' severity. Using the YaST2 GUI to follow 'HOW-TO: Set Up a SUSE 10 Machine As a Router' http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16579.html I encounter a problem when setting up the DHCP server - The DHCP server will not start when I click 'Finish'. /var/log/messages shows: Jan 12 15:33:41 mv-laptop dhcpd: /var/lib/dhcp///etc/dhcpd.conf line 7: expecting numeric value. Jan 12 15:33:41 mv-laptop dhcpd: subnet netmask Jan 12 15:33:41 mv-laptop dhcpd: ^ Jan 12 15:33:41 mv-laptop dhcpd: Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting It turns out the problem is that the /etc/dhcp.conf file is written incorrectly by YaST2. YaST2 writes: option domain-name "sable.net"; option domain-name-servers 203.98.90.25, 203.98.90.27; option routers 192.168.0.1; option ntp-servers time.nist.gov; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 14400; subnet netmask { range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.250; default-lease-time 14400; max-lease-time 172800; } But this should be option domain-name "sable.net"; option domain-name-servers 203.98.90.25, 203.98.90.27; option routers 192.168.0.1; option ntp-servers time.nist.gov; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 14400; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.250; default-lease-time 14400; max-lease-time 172800; } -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The log says: 2007-01-12 15:17:31 <1> mv-laptop(8741) [Perl] modules/DhcpServer.pm(DhcpServer::GetInterfaceInformation):2220 Getting information about interface eth-id-00:12:3f:e7:71:b7 2007-01-12 15:17:32 <3> mv-laptop(8741) [Perl] modules/DhcpServer.pm(DhcpServer::GetInterfaceInformation):2259 ifconfig didn't return meaningful data about eth0 I wonder why that might be. Mark, are you using NetworkManager ? Does network normally work for you ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

But anyway, DHCP server on NIC that has IP address assigned in other way than statically makes no sense ;-) Fixed in yast2-dhcp-server 2.15.1 (openSUSE) and 2.13.12 (SLES/D) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
