User authentication question?
The system is: Linux pali 2.6.23.14-slh-smp-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 14 23:28:40 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux I am trying to configure dovecot imap server.

You can do what you want, but I think most DHCP servers expect the clients to comply with periodically re-upping the lease. I'm not sure, but I think the lease period is probably specified by the server when the ip is granted. Read the manpages for client and servers to find out more. You could, for instance, simply change your network to use a static address with the ip you receive from the dhcp server -- but of course this would I did that but the client still goes for renewal. Temporary solution I have is to kill the DHCP client (not allow it to run).
