FreeBSD 10.2 RELEASE with dhcpd 5.
Here is a working /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf:
--------------------
authoritative;
allow unknown-clients;
use-host-decl-names on;
default-lease-time 1814400; # 21 days
max-lease-time 1814400; # 21 days
#db-time-format default;
#ddns-updates on;
#ddns-update-style interim;
#update-static-leases on;
#key rndc-key { algorithm hmac-md5; secret 12345678901234567890=3D=3D; }
option domain-name "visznet";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.5.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.5.100 192.168.5.199;
option broadcast-address 192.168.5.0;
option routers 192.168.5.1;
}
--------------------
This configuration does work. But if I try to activate any of the
commented lines, then I get errors like this:
Mar 5 13:36:01 gw dhcpd: /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf line 1: expecting a
parameter or declaration.
Mar 5 13:36:01 gw dhcpd: db-time-format
Mar 5 13:36:01 gw dhcpd: ^
Mar 5 13:36:01 gw dhcpd: Configuration file errors encountered
Mar 5 13:36:01 gw dhcpd: exiting.
Mar 5 13:36:01 gw gandalf: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dhcpd: WARNING: failed
to start dhcpd
Exact package version: dhcpd-5.8.20151202. It seem that it does not know
many of the configuration parameters that I want.
*Most importantly:* how can I set it up to do ddns updates on the
nameserver?
Not so important questions:
* Why can't I change the date format?
* Why can't I store static leases in the leases file?
* Why does it store epoch for all start/end leases instead of the good
values?
Here is an example lease:
lease 192.168.5.115 {
starts 4 1970/01/01 00:00:00 UTC;
ends 4 1970/01/01 00:00:00 UTC;
hardware ethernet 64:70:02:2b:6e:fb;
uid 01:64:70:02:2b:6e:fb;
client-hostname "Adam-PC";
}
The "starts" and "ends" values are always epoch, and when I start the
server I always get these messages:
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: ^
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: /var/db/dhcpd.leases line 117: unparseable
time string
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: ends 4 1970/01/01 00:00:00 UTC;
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: ^
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: /var/db/dhcpd.leases line 123: unparseable
time string
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: starts 4 1970/01/01 00:00:00 UTC;
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: ^
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: /var/db/dhcpd.leases line 124: unparseable
time string
Mar 5 13:45:12 gw dhcpd: ends 4 1970/01/01 00:00:00 UTC;
If I remove all dates from the lease file and restart the server, then
it starts up without warning, but writes out these epoch values
immediately. Next time I restart it is complaining about the unparseable
time strings again. Why is that?
Thanks,
Laszlo
