Re: DHCP v3.x in woody?
Thanks Scott,
However, I don't know how to get ez-ipupdate. My searches come up
empty. Can you point me to a link/site?
BTW, I'm currently using dhcp-dns in woody. DNS is working, DHCP 2.x
is working, but the nsupdate utility called by the dhcp-dns scripts
failes w/
dns_name_fromtext: empty label
Can't find anything out about what this could be. Any thoughts? This
error happens even if I give 'nsupdate' NO parameters, but it doesn't
say much else anywhere.
Thanks,
Jeff

The mantainer of the ISC DHCP client just went through a long
discusion
on the subject of version 3 on the debian devel mailing list. You
might
try looking it up. But the quick and dirty answer is it is not going
to
be in woody for various reasons. It will aparently be in woody+1.
Also
I think he said something about some unofficial packages that he had.
If you want them I guess you could check out the devel archives and
see
if he said where they were. Also on the dhcp-dns subject. If your
talking about redirection services like dyn-dns and hn.org you could
always use ez-ipupdate(I use it and it works just fine). I hope I
helped some.
