I remember that, too. I don't remember it ever making it into a CR -- at least I can't find it externally. The two places I can think of where this ought to be handled are in configure_v4_lease(): we should be able to detect and ignore "obviously" bogus netmasks, and we should check dsm_pil[] before attempting to use CD_SUBNETMASK. The latter would make it possible for you to set PARAM_IGNORE_LIST so that the DHCP client would not use that option. (It's not a fix, but it'd be a useful work-around, just in case there's someone out there with a DHCP server that gives out bogus netmasks that aren't "obvious.") -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
