ISC-DHCPD-Server

[Paul Pathiakis]

 Adding to my own post:
Something that was reported way back in 2012 and has also never been corrected, is the informational message at the end of the port.
The last line has:  WARNING:  never edit the chrooted or jailed dhcpd.conf file but the /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf instead which is always copied where needed upon starting.
HUH??!!!  It's a jail.  It lives in there....  this message is just confusing and wrong.  Maybe it's an artifact, maybe is was a mistake.  It needs to be removed/corrected for clarity.


Thank you,
P.

 Hi,
At the end of the install, it says that dhcpd will run with it's root at:  /var/db/dhcpd
I'm curious.  Is there some security reason that I'm missing?  Why wouldn't this be in:  /usr/local/var/db/dhcpd  ?
I'm very happy with the ongoing push to keep everything that isn't OS in the /usr/local hierarchy.  Quite frankly, it just makes sense kind of like "It just works".  :D
I'm hoping that, someday, even mail will be there but I understand there's some history there.
Thank you!
P.
