The classic answer is probably firewall rules: ISC dhcpd bypasses the

BINGO - me idiot! But I was kind of taken off track by the fact that dhcpd3
worked ...
That gets lots of people.

adding 'dhcp' to the proper entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces
solved the problem - could have figured that out on my own!


Oh, and you can replicate "deny unknown-clients;" by changing the
dhcp-range line to

dhcp-range=192.168.0.3,static,12h

"log-facility local7;" becomes

log-facility=local7

and "authoritative;" becomes

dhcp-authoritative

Thanks for those! Just one question: '192.168.0.3' in this context just
defines the subnet to use, no? So would '192.168.0.0' work as well?

Correct, yes it would.

Thanks for the amazingly fast rescue by the MAN himself! Keep at the good
Debianing - please!


My pleasure.


Cheers,

Simon.
