Adam,
I don't know much about dhcp, but if you're erroring out when trying to start
dhcpd from root, the errors will tell you where your're mis-configured.
I think these two errors:
> Tux:/etc# dhcpd start
> <snip>
> /etc/dhcpd.conf line 8: expecting identifier after option keyword.
> option;
> ^
> /etc/dhcpd.conf line 8: expecting a parameter or declaration.
> option; domain-name
> ^
deal with a problem in your file at:
> option; domain-name paradise.net.nz;
There shouldn't be a ; after option, just at the end of the line. Because of
the ; dhcpd isn't reading the domain-name after the option keyword and then it
is misreading what follows.
This error:
> /etc/dhcpd.conf line 92: unexpected end of file
Has to do with how your file is terminated, look for brakets without close
brackets or a missing ; It's hard to tell what's missing without seeing the
whole file.
Also, if you want to assign a static hostname and ip to your client machine,
that needs to be defined in your dhcp.conf file. If you're using the K12LTSP
distro there should be a sample section that shows you how to define that. It
should look something like:
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
option log-servers 192.168.0.254;
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 00:E0:18:E0:04:82;
fixed-address 192.168.0.1;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp";
}
If you don't want to assign a static ip to your client, but want to specify
options for the client in /opt/ltsp/i386/lts.conf for printing, vid card or
whatever, you can also just do it by MAC address instead of host name. In your
file where it says [ws001] just replace it with the MAC address of the client
card like [xx:xx:xx:xx].
Well, it's late. Hope that makes some sense and is helpful. If you haven't
already, you should also read through Jim McQuillan's doc. Someone pointed it
out to me when I first started messing around with K12ltsp and it's been a big
help.
