Package: udhcpd
Version: 0.9.8cvs20050303-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
* Starting from the assumption, that it is a good practice to provide
working and/or correct default/example configurations in packages, that
make the user's life easier, I suggest, that udhcpd's example
configuration be adapted to that principle.
A virgin install of udhcpd will complain that:
"max leases value (254) is not sane, setting to 235 instead"
I suggest to fix that reported problem in the example/default config.
* The attached patch contains additionaly correction to the IP addresses
of the optional various network servers, that all have IP addresses
outside of the configured network.
* I see that there are several trivial bugs reported against your
package that are fairly old. Do you mind if I fix those additionaly to
this bug here and NMU your package? (#387732, #409363).
Thanks,
*t

The code (as of current version in squeeze) is now different,
and there's no such check anymore, default value of 254 is ok now.

I don't think these changes are actually necessary. Yes,
the networks don't match, in particular (the changes you
suggests):
start 192.168.0.20 #default: 192.168.0.20
end 192.168.0.254 #default: 192.168.0.254
option subnet 255.255.255.0
opt dns 192.168.10.2 192.168.10.10
opt router 192.168.10.2
opt wins 192.168.10.10
While router at least usually located in the network
range we're talking about, the other settings (dns and
wins in this case) may be in other subnets just fine.
And as you correctly noticed this is just an example.
Maybe some day...

Thank you!
