dhcpd related issue - not giving up

[Dánielisz László]

I tried about 10 conf, here is the actual one:

# cat /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  option routers 192.168.1.1;


pool {
           option domain-name-servers cns01.hdsnet.hu;
           max-lease-time 300;
           range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.253;
           allow unknown-clients;
         }
}

Doesn't mean that it will answer.

I saw your previous posts which has the authoritative declaration.

Authoritative (from my experience) means that if a client had
previously gotten an address, a non-authoritative server won't correct
the client's lease.  Think of a roaming laptop or a PDA with wifi.

An authoritative server will say "No, that won't work", then the
client will release any knowledge of the previous IP, and search for
new dhcp servers.



Since you weren't getting leases when your firewall was disabled, I
would lean toward a misconfigured dhcpd.conf.  I don't think I've seen
in the same post:
  ifconfig rl1
  cat /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf


Please provide these.  Thanks.
