> Will ask the SRU team if it would be acceptable to split up the binary package in two to include changes (already applied in Xenial) to trusty.
I think that it's important that existing Trusty users can continue to use this DDNS functionality after the SRU without any necessary intervention. They may be depending on this functionality. If they have to do something (such as install the additional package manually), then that would be a regression and not acceptable in an SRU. If there's a way to do the split such that users will automatically get isc-dhcp-client-ddns installed but users bothered by this bug then have the option to switch to the one without it, then that might work. But perhaps it would be simpler to provide users a way to disable this functionality manually? Is there any kind of runtime configuration available? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to isc-dhcp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176046 Title: isc-dhcp dhclient listens on extra random ports Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu 13.04 Server 64-bit. Fresh install. Only one network adapter. dhclient process is listening on two randomly chosen udp ports in addition to the usual port 68. This appears to be a bug in the discovery code for probing information on interfaces in the system. Initial research of the code also suggested omapi, but adding omapi port 9999 to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf only opened a forth port with the two random udp ports still enabled. Version of included distro dhclient was 4.2.4. I also tested with the latest isc-dhclient-4.2.5-P1 and got the same results. Debian has the same bug: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=95273&p=495605#p495605 One impact of these random ports is that security hardening becomes more difficult. The purpose of these random ports and security implications are unknown. Example netstat -lnp output: udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21117 0.0.0.0:* 2659/dhclient udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:68 0.0.0.0:* 2659/dhclient udp6 0 0 :::45664 :::* 2659/dhclient To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1176046/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
