bootpd trouble
Hello all,
I'm having trouble with a bootpd server I recently migrated to a new
box. The old one (potato, kernel 2.2) worked fine. Moved the data to the
new box (testing, kernel 2.4) and most of the clients can get their
leases. The exceptions are some printers (HP 4000's mostly) that fail. The
request looks like this in tcpdump:
14:53:12.733894 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x32158
secs:20510 flags:0x8000 [|bootp]
Responses from the old server look like this:
14:53:12.741519 hostname.domain.tld.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc: xid:0x32158 flags:0x8000
Y:printer.domain.tld S:server.doamin.tld ether 0:x:x:x:x:x sname
"server" [|bootp]
Both servers record the transaction in daemon.log. Only the new server
actually sends it out. The new server never shows a response in
tcpdump. I've read the dhcp mini-howto which explains about adding a host
route for 255.255.255.255. Did that and still no result. Also looked
through the kernel docs to see if there was a /proc setting that needed
changing, but didn't see anything. A search on debian.org in the mail
arcihives and bug logs didn't turn up anything. Any and all suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.
