[Bug 43784] Re: Firestarter can't start DHCP-server
On Ubuntu 9.10, after installing firestarter and dhcp3-server the "Enable DHCP for local network" option was grayed out, as though I didn't have dhcp installed. Running: # ln -s /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf # ln -s /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 /usr/sbin/dhcpd fixed this.

[Bug 43784] Re: Firestarter can't start DHCP-server
New to Ubuntu, but experienced sys admin but firestarter totally
confused me for a bit. This Bug report was very useful in finding a
solution, so thanks to all who commented previously.
First I ran the wizard to install and continually was got the ghastly MS
style message in a pop-up :
Failed to start the firewall
An unknown error occured.
Please check your network settings and make sure you internet
connection is active.
With iptables --list showed it's rules were actually OK, and my net
settings were up and active.
At that point, I had no DHCP server installed, but knew I needed one;
and though the tool was broke, the rules were actually quite reasonable.
There's actually 2 problems related to DHCP dameon :
1) As described previously, firestarter doesn't know the real service
name in init.d, nor is it able to report any sensible error output from
it's attempt to start up DHCP service, nor does it fail gracefully if no
DHCP daemon is installed.
2) Configuration file error, generating dhcpd.conf
Installing dhcp DHCP V2 server first, using firestarter's
/etc/dhcpd.conf, and then dhcp3-server and configuring
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf manually, I noticed an error in the
/etc/dhcpd.conf produced for the DHCP V2 server, dhcp, and
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file which are identical and written out in
duplicate by firestarter:
# DHCP configuration generated by Firestarter
subnet 10.5.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.5.5.5;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 194.168.4.100, 194.168.8.100;
option ip-forwarding off;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.254;
Wrong Network
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
This is probably an artefact of a developer's network setting. So I fixed that
up and got DHCP dhcp3-server started by hand :
***
*** 106,108
--- 106,119
#range 10.0.29.10 10.0.29.230;
# }
#}
+
+ #
+ # DHCP configuration generated by Firestarter
+ #
+
+ subnet 10.5.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
+ option routers 10.5.5.5;
+ option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
+ option domain-name-servers 194.168.4.100 194.168.8.100;
+ range 10.5.5.190 10.5.5.199;
+ }
All of a sudden firestarter was able to start & stop the firewall, as
described by initial bug report. But then a crash with "Active
Connections" showing, you can be left with empty netfilter rules in the
kernel without realising it, whilst initially the firestarter rules
remained in situ no matter what.
With broken config file and making the symlink, you get the same error
explaining why "polach" reports failure on symlink work round. I think in
Wizard it's perfectly possible for someone to accidentally have firestarter
attempt to configure and start DHCP service unkowingly and then be triply
confused later, as they debug their policy.
As you should install firewall first, and then your services;
firestarter would be better served not trying to be too clever, but
requesting the completed config file name, and daemon name in
/etc/init.d to activate DHCP support (by relaxing the firewall rules on
LAN side for DHCP).
DHCP configuration should be left to a DHCP server tool, as this is
SECURITY software not some shoot'em up game program. As is, it's making
firestart hard to maintain and ensure correctness on multiple systems.

[Bug 43784] Re: Firestarter can't start DHCP-server
firestart.sh is generated by the firestart application. The generated code, as listed above, checks for dhcp3-server or for dhcpd. Even if dhcp package is installed, the test in firestarter.sh fails because service name in init.d is not dhcpd but only dhcp. If dhcpd is started directly it fails because it will miss the interfaces list to check, defined in /etc/default and will for all interfaces, Correction should be done in source code, by maintainer or upstream, to address the correct service names used in Ubuntu Feisty. In the meantime, work-around listed above linking the the service names, dhcp3-server or dhcp to dhcpd. -- Firestarter can't start DHCP-server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Firestarter gives an error if LAN DHCP server is activated. I found that it would suffice to create a symlink to fix this: sudo ln /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 /usr/sbin/dhcpd Since dhcpd3 is the new version of the dhcpd and with this symlink all works fine, it would be nice if you will upgrade Firestarter to support the new version of dhcp thz for everything. -- Firestarter can't start DHCP-server https://launchpad.net/bugs/43784 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By default (on Edgy), firestarter is schizophrenic! * It edits the config file for dhcpd3.conf * BUT it tries to run the executable dhcpd.

I encountered this bug today. The problem lies in lines 112-121 of /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh: if [ -e /etc/init.d/dhcpd ]; then /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart > /dev/null else /usr/sbin/dhcpd 2> /dev/null fi if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo Failed to start DHCP server exit 200 fi If you have the dhcp3-server package installed, there is no file at either: /etc/init.d/dhcpd or: /usr/sbin/dhcpd ...so the script fails to start a dhcpd server, and exits. Changing both instances of "/etc/init.d/dhcpd" to "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server" allows the firestarter.sh script to work as expected. -- Firestarter can't start DHCP-server https://launchpad.net/bugs/43784 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
