--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.5-3+b2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream DHCP clients often send hostnames with characters not allowed in DNS such as spaces. dhcp-eval should provide a way to rewrite those via hardcoded mechanism (e.g translate all invalid characters to '-'), or patsubst/regex, or even by evaluating stdout of execute() Currently, the only option is something like this: if not (option host-name ~~ "^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9\-]+[a-z0-9]$") { set new_host-name = concat("host-", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, "", substring(hardware, 1, 6))); log(concat("invalid hostname: ", option host-name, " => ", new_host-name)); ddns-hostname = new_host-name; } which obscures the real DHCP hostname completely. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.65 ii debianutils 4.8.3 ii libc6 2.25-5 ii libdns-export169 1:9.11.2+dfsg-5 ii libirs-export160 1:9.11.2+dfsg-5 ii libisc-export166 1:9.11.2+dfsg-5 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server recommends: ii isc-dhcp-common 4.3.5-3+b2 ii policycoreutils 2.7-1 Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server suggests: pn isc-dhcp-server-ldap <none> ii policykit-1 0.105-18 -- Configuration Files: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information excluded
