Hi,
I am running DHCP (also with DDNS) on Fedora Core 2.
I am getting some instances of blank hostnames getting an IP
address... I want to prevent those people from renewing their IP.
So I actually have a 2 questions;
1- Can I prevent blank host names from getting a DHCP address? (I know
I can deny unknown hosts, but that would require me to enter in all my
known hosts manually, somethign I do not want to do, since there is
over 250 of them)
2- Since I know their MAC addresses is there a way to deny them a IP from DHCP?
Sure. See the man page for dhcpd.conf, specifically the class and
subclass sections and the "hardware ethernet" options.
