Hi, I just installed dhcp-3.0.2. I tried to reload the configuration by calling "/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcp reload", but the dhcpd daemon is killed instead of reloading its configuration.
It seems that sending the SIGHUP signal to the dhcpd daemon, as is done by the reloadproc function, actually kills it instead of forcing it to reload its configuration. I found this in the source tree for dhcp-3.0.2 (server/dhcpd.8): ========================================================= Note: We get a lot of complaints about this. We realize that it would be nice if one could send a SIGHUP to the server and have it reload the database. This is not technically impossible, but it would require a great deal of work, our resources are extremely limited, and they can be better spent elsewhere. So please don't complain about this on the mailing list unless you're prepared to fund a project to implement this feature, or prepared to do it yourself. ========================================================= So I think the reload option should be dropped from the bootscript.
