OpenSolaris code (http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/common/net/dhcp/scan.c) show: 150 if (pl->opts[CD_OPTION_OVERLOAD]) { 151 if (pl->opts[CD_OPTION_OVERLOAD]->len != 1) { 152 pl->opts[CD_OPTION_OVERLOAD] = NULL; 153 return (DHCP_BAD_OPT_OVLD); 154 } 155 switch (*pl->opts[CD_OPTION_OVERLOAD]->value) { 156 case 1: 157 field_scan(pkt->file, &pkt->cookie[0], pl->opts, 158 DHCP_LAST_OPT); 159 break; 160 case 2: 161 field_scan(pkt->sname, &pkt->file[0], pl->opts, 162 DHCP_LAST_OPT); 163 break; 164 case 3: 165 field_scan(pkt->file, &pkt->cookie[0], pl->opts, 166 DHCP_LAST_OPT); 167 field_scan(pkt->sname, &pkt->file[0], pl->opts, 168 DHCP_LAST_OPT); 169 break; 170 default: 171 pl->opts[CD_OPTION_OVERLOAD] = NULL; 172 return (DHCP_BAD_OPT_OVLD); 173 } 174 } Where DHCP_BAD_OPT_OVLD is what appears to print the 'Bad option overload' message. And hopefully your trace will show which case is being invoked, assuming this is the same in the Solaris code you are running. .... Ken
