Apologies to the list for asking about an issue with a very old system. But,
I have a router that I've failed to plan an upgrade for for quite some time,
running dhcpd 3.0.3 on NetBSD 5.2.x.
I reconfigured an internal network last night, and noticed that where in
/var/log/messages I used to see the client "Hostname" value, I am no longer.
I'm seeing the local address of the server/router (Server-ID), where I was
before, but note a lack of client identifier in the log where I used to see it.
An example of an attach this morning:
Dec 30 06:35:47 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.16.12.28 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
(RossFamilyiPad) via vlan2
Dec 30 06:35:48 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.12.28 (172.16.12.30) from
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (RossFamilyiPad) via vlan2
Dec 30 06:35:48 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.16.12.28 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
(RossFamilyiPad) via vlan2
I'm now seeing:
Dec 30 23:33:09 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.16.8.61 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via
vlan2
Dec 30 23:33:10 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.8.61 (172.16.8.63) from
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via vlan2
Dec 30 23:33:10 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.16.8.61 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via
vlan2
I assigned fixed-addresses to a number of devices, by hardware ethernet
address, including the aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff device shown here. Is that the reason
I'm not longer seeing the client identifier/Hostname parameter in the logs? Is
there any way I can turn that back on? I don't see in the man pages a way to
control/influence what is logged.
Thanks.....
