Hi,
Don't ask me why (perhaps for fun?) but I started playing around
with udhcpd, the small dhcp server in the debian package archive. I
have been using the regular dhcpd package for some time now, without any
problems. This is for a small network. The DHCP server has two nics,
and should be giving out addresses on eth1. However, for the life of
me, I can't get udhcpd to give out addresses at all.
All of the other factors between my server and clients seem
to be OK (they all get assigned addresses from the dhcpd program without
any trouble). Below is my config file, /etc/udhcpd.conf. Does anyone
have any ideas what the problem might be? the daemon starts up and is
running, but the daemon log doesn't show anything happening.
Thanks!
Bryan
