--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5 Severity: minor Most Debian packages containing a daemon provide a way to not start the daemon (for those people who want the daemon binary to be available for whatever reason, and yet not run it, or at least not run it with the default init script), typically with a START_DAEMON variable in /etc/default/$name - not so with isc-dhcp-server. There are, of course, various ways to avoid starting the server, but they are generally unsatisfactory: e.g., I tried removing the /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server script altogether, but it is recreated at every package upgrade (this broke my network config, incidentally); I could remove the /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server script, but it would likewise be recreated; replacing it by a symlink to /bin/true might run afoul of dependency-based boot; replacing it by a trivial script would make it rather painful to restore if needed; etc. The best I found was adding "exit 0" inside /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server but that's a hack. So, please provide a clean way to avoid starting the server. Thanks! -- David A. Madore ( http://www.madore.org/~david/ )
