Not exactly, but if you want to force a machine to not automatically reuse the same IP address, try executing dchpcd <interface> with the -k switch. (ie dhcpcd -k eth0) This will send a sighup to the process as well as cause a purge of the address cache. It also leaves the interface down and a dhcpcd <interface> is necessary to bring it back up. The normal method of stopping dhcpcd (like when you halt the system) is with a sigterm. The sigterm specifically does NOT purge the cached address. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel M Church [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 1:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DHCP I'm a sysadmin for my school, and I'm in charge of DHCP. Now, dhcpd remembers the IP that a computer has even after it is released, so that if, a day or so later, that IP has not been claimed and the original computer requests a new IP address, dhcpd will give the computer the same one it had last time. Is there any way to turn off this behavior, so that anytime a computer requests a new address, it takes the first available instead of the last one that computer had?
