--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.5-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, I'd like to ask for a trivial improvement in the default '/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf' configuration. For a more selective deployment of the DHCP service, reducing potential attack surface and the chances for network disruptions when leaving the package installed in i.e. a laptop, it would seem best to provide a default configuration that only bind 'in.tftpd' to a specific IP address. This could be accomplished, including in the '/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf' file the lines: [...] # This statement causes the DHCP server to listen for DHCP # requests sent to the specified address, rather than # requests sent to all addresses (0.0.0.0). Please modify as needed. local-address 192.168.0.1 [...] Thanks for your time, -- Alberto. *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.10 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (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] 1.5.61 ii debianutils 4.8.1.1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libdns-export162 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u3 ii libirs-export141 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u3 ii libisc-export160 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u3 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server recommends: ii isc-dhcp-common 4.3.5-3 ii policycoreutils 2.6-3 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: isc-dhcp-server/interfaces:
