Hi
From: Koenraad Lelong [mailto:k.lelong@ace-electronics.be] Hi, I switched from an NT to a Linux DHCP-server. Although I never configured the server for a DNS-server address of 192.168.10.7, this is what clients get when they ask for an IP-address.
So it's obviously an IP-address within your range, isn't it? Can you please post the relevant parts of your configuration files and be a bit more specific about what you want to do?
The DNS-server address I configured is in the 192.168.0. subnet. Any suggestions where to look ?
There is an excellent book which is called "DNS and Bind" (O'Reilly). Or try googling for ddns (dynamic update dns), it's what helped me there first place. And try http://www.isc.org.
I manage the server with Webmin, but when I looked at dhcpd.conf itself, everything seemed what was entered in Webmin.
Well, what did you expect? Webmin is a nice frontend, but it's not a "do-what-i-mean-to-do"-gui. Maybe you can put this nice feature on the TODO-list for webmin ;o)
TIA regards, Stefan

So it's obviously an IP-address within your range, isn't it? It isn't. I failed to mention that the subnet is 255.255.255.0. Anyhow, when looking further I discovered that DHCPD runs chrooted. So I looked for another dhcpd.conf. When I found this, everything was like before, but then I looked into some other files in that directory, like host.conf and hosts. This last file was the culprit. There was an entry for the box, with that wrong address. After removing this from the /etc/hosts file, and restarting dhcpd, all is OK now. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
