1 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Distribution
9 Version 3 of the ISC DHCP Distribution includes the following features
10 that are new since version 2.0:
12 - DHCP Failover Protocol support
13 - OMAPI, an API for accessing and modifying the DHCP server and
15 - Conditional behaviour
16 - Storing arbitrary information on leases
17 - Address pools with access control
19 - Address allocation restriction by class
20 - Relay agent information option support
22 - Many bug fixes, performance enhancements, and minor new DHCP
25 The main bug fixed here is a bug in the subclass allocation code that
26 could result in a memory smash. Any users of the ISC DHCP server who
27 are using subclasses should seriously consider upgrading to 3.0.1.
29 If you are running 3.0 beta 1 and are doing dynamic DNS updates, the
30 lease file is no longer forward-compatible to 3.0 final. A script
31 has been provided to convert 3.0b1 lease files. This is in
32 contrib/3.0b1-lease-convert.
34 For information on how to install, configure and run this software,
35 as well as how to find documentation and report bugs, please consult
38 The Dynamic DNS Update support is a descendent of an implementation
39 done by Lans Carstensen and Brian Dols at Rose-Hulman Institute of
40 Technology, Jim Watt at Applied Biosystems, Irina Goble at Integrated
41 Measurement Systems, Igor Sharfmesser at Kazakh Telecom, and Brian
42 Murrell at BC Tel Advanced Communications. I'd like to express my
43 thanks to all of these good people here, both for working on the code
44 and for prodding me into improving it.
48 - dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
49 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
51 - In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
52 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
53 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
58 - An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
59 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
63 - A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
64 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
65 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
67 - The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
68 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
69 dynamic updates were also retouched.
73 - A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
74 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceeding DISCOVER.
75 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
77 - In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
78 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
79 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
80 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
81 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
83 - The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
84 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
85 Jason Vas Dias at Redhat.
87 - Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
88 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
89 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
91 - decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
92 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
93 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
96 - An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
99 - A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
100 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
101 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
102 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
103 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
104 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
106 - The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
107 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
108 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
109 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
111 - mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
112 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
113 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
114 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
116 - A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
117 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
119 - Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
120 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
121 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
123 - A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
124 7 bytes, and failover.
126 - Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
127 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
130 - Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
131 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
134 - In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
135 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
136 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
138 - Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
139 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
140 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
142 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
144 - A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
145 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
147 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
149 - Two varaibles introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
150 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
151 overloading. This was repaired.
153 - A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
154 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
155 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
156 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
159 - Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
162 - An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
163 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
166 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
168 - allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
169 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
171 Changes since 3.0.2b1
173 - Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
177 - A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
178 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
179 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
181 - The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
182 name was not provided by the server.
184 - A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
185 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
187 - Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
188 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
190 - One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
191 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
193 - Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
195 - A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
197 - Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
198 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
199 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
200 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
201 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
203 - The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
204 the configuration be globally scoped.
206 - Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
209 - Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
210 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
212 - Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
213 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
215 - Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
216 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
218 - Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
219 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
220 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
221 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
223 - Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
224 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
225 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
226 respond to POOLREQ messages.
228 - Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
229 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
230 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
232 - "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
234 - If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
235 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
236 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
238 - log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
239 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
240 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
241 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
242 Fjone and directconnect.no.
244 - Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
245 to Andreas Gustafsson.
247 - The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
248 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
250 - How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
251 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
252 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
253 DISCOVER timeout handling.
255 - Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
256 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
258 - A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
259 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
260 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
262 - Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
263 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
264 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
265 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
266 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
267 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
269 - A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
270 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
273 - 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
275 - A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
276 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
277 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
278 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
279 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
280 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
281 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
283 - A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
284 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
285 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
287 - A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
288 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
289 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
291 - A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
293 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
295 - The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
296 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
297 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
298 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
301 - A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
303 - AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
304 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
307 - The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
308 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
310 - omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
312 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
314 ! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
315 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
316 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
317 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
318 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
319 both finding and solving the problem.
321 ! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
322 in log_*() functions was evidented, on some specific platforms where
323 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
324 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
325 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
326 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
327 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
328 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
329 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
330 published version of ISC DHCP.
332 - Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
334 - 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
336 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
338 - Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
339 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
342 - Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
343 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
344 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
346 - Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
348 - Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
349 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
350 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
351 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
353 - The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
354 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on solaris platforms.
356 - A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
357 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
359 - dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
361 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
363 - A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
364 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
366 - A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
367 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
368 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
370 - A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
373 - Delcaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
374 longer result in error.
376 - The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
378 - Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
379 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
380 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
382 - contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
383 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
385 - Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
386 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
389 - The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
390 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
391 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
394 - A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
395 expiry times in failover configurations.
397 - A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
400 - The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
401 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
403 - Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
404 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
405 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
408 - Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
409 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
411 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
413 - Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
415 - A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
418 - Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
420 - A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
421 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
422 that errored before will now work properly.
424 - Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
427 - Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
428 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
431 - Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
432 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
434 - Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
435 error rather than a null dereference.
437 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
439 - A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
441 - A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
443 - The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
444 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
446 - A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
448 - A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
450 - Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
451 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
452 self-corrupting lease databases.
454 - dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
456 - A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
457 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
459 - Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
461 - Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
463 - A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
464 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
467 - A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
468 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
470 - A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
471 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
472 Ted Lemon for the patch.
474 - Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
475 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
477 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
479 - Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
480 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
482 - Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
484 - Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
487 - Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
490 - Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
492 - Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
494 - Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
496 - Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
498 - Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
500 - Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
502 - Increment the hop count when relaying.
504 - Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
506 - Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
508 - Fix a reversed test in the parser.
510 - Change the type of rbuf_max.
512 - Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
514 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
516 - Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
517 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
518 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
520 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
522 - Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
525 - Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
526 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
528 - Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
529 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
531 - Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
532 that two permit lists matched.
534 - Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
535 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
537 - Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
539 - Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
540 requested it, contrary to the standard.
542 - On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
544 - On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
546 - Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
547 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
548 going to update its A record.
550 - In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
551 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
552 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
555 - Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
557 - Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
559 - Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
560 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
563 - Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
564 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
566 - Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
567 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
569 - Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
571 - Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
573 - Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
574 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
575 failover protocol standard.
577 - Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
578 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
579 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
581 - In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
582 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
583 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
586 - Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
588 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
590 - Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
592 - Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
593 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
595 - Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
596 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
598 - Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
599 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
600 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
602 - If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
603 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
604 network, merge the two pools.
606 - Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
607 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
610 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
612 - Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
613 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
615 - Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
618 - Additional documentation.
620 - Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
621 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
623 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
625 - A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
626 - Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
628 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
630 - Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
631 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
632 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
633 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
634 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
636 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
638 - Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
639 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
640 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
641 wasn't the one that removed it.
643 - Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
644 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
647 - Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
649 - Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
650 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
653 - Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
656 - Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
659 - Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
660 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
663 - Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
664 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
665 problems with failover.
667 - Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
668 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
669 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
673 - Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
674 smash in the subclass allocation code.
676 - Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
677 no object is open, it dumps core.
679 - Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
681 - Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
683 - Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
685 - Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
686 a host object attribute with a null value.
688 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
690 - Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
692 - Fix an obscure core dump.
694 - Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
695 when crucial information is left out.
697 - Log "no free leases" as an error.
699 - Documentation updates.
701 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
703 - Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
705 - Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
706 structure wasn't zeroed.
708 - Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
711 - When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
712 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
713 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
714 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
715 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
716 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
719 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
721 - Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
722 in failover-enabled pools.
724 - Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
727 - Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
728 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
730 - Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
731 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
733 - Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
735 - Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
736 defined but not referenced by any pools.
738 - Correct a confusing error message in failover.
740 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9
742 - Fix a bug in lease allocation for Dynamic BOOTP clients.
744 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
746 - Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
748 - Document failover-state OMAPI object.
750 - Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
752 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
754 - Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
755 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
756 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
758 - Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
759 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
760 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
761 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
764 - Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
766 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
768 - Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
769 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
771 - Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
774 - In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
776 - On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
777 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
778 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
780 - Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
782 - Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
784 - Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
786 - Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
787 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
789 - Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
790 tcp connections from being played back.
792 - Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
795 - Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
797 - Add some configurability to the build system.
799 - Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
801 - Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
802 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
803 hadn't been noticed until now.
805 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
807 - Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
808 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
810 - Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
811 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
812 conformant, but also didn't work).
814 - Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
815 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
817 - When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
818 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
820 - In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
821 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
823 - Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
824 variables to leases via OMAPI.
826 - If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
829 - Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
830 running on alpha processors.
832 - Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
833 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
835 - Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
837 - Install omshell (including new documentation).
839 - Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
840 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
842 - Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
844 - Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
845 actually named (key names are domain names).
847 - Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
849 - Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
850 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
852 - Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
853 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
855 - Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
858 - Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
859 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
861 - Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
862 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
865 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
867 - Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
868 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
869 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
870 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
872 - Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
873 using omapi to manipulate leases.
875 - Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
878 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
880 - Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
881 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
883 - Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
884 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
887 - Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
889 - Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
891 - Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
893 - Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
894 attribute values in omshell.
896 - Fix a typo in the Linux interface discovery code.
898 - Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
900 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
902 - Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
905 - Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
907 - In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
908 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
909 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
911 - Fix some broken failover state transitions.
913 - Documentation fixes.
915 - Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
916 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
918 - Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
919 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
921 - Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
923 - Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
925 - Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
928 - Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
930 - If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
931 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
934 - Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
935 systems with the probe not working correctly.
937 - Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.
939 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
941 - Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
942 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
943 result of duplicate leases.
945 - Document OMAPI server objects.
947 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
949 - Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
950 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
952 - Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
955 - Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
958 - Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
960 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
962 - Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
963 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
964 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
967 - Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
968 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
970 - Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
973 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
975 - Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
976 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
977 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
980 - Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
981 when no error had occurred.
983 - Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
984 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
985 non-communicating state.
987 - Be smart about going into recover_wait.
989 - Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
990 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
991 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
993 - Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
994 when the client lease expired.
996 - If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
997 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
998 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
1001 - Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
1002 the command line, it would fail.
1004 - Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
1007 - Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
1009 - Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
1012 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1
1014 - Fix a memory smash that happens when fixed-address leases are used.
1015 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD
1016 UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to
1017 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!
1019 - Fix a small bug in binary-to-ascii, thanks to H. Peter Anvin of
1022 - There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
1023 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
1024 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
1025 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
1027 - There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
1028 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.
1030 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24
1032 - Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
1033 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
1035 - Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
1037 - Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
1039 - Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
1041 - Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
1043 - Fix some dhcp client documentation errors.
1045 - Update some parts of the README file.
1047 - Support GCC on SCO.
1049 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 23
1051 - Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
1052 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
1054 - When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
1055 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
1056 unbill the old class.
1058 - When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
1059 process the state transition immediately.
1061 - Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
1062 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
1064 - Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
1066 - Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
1068 - Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
1070 - Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
1072 - Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
1073 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
1074 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
1076 - If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
1077 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
1079 - The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
1082 - Don't overwrite tracefiles.
1084 - Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.
1086 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 22
1088 - Apply some patches suggested by Cyrille Lefevre, who is maintaining
1089 the FreeBSD ISC DHCP Distribution port.
1091 - Fix a core dump in DHCPRELEASE.
1093 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 21
1095 - This time for sure: fix the spin described in the changes for pl20.
1097 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 20
1099 - Fix a problem with Linux detecting large numbers of interfaces (Ben)
1101 - Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in
1104 - Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
1105 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
1106 past the regression test.
1108 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19
1110 - Fix a bug that could cause the server to abort if compiled with
1111 POINTER_DEBUG enabled.
1113 - Fix a bug that could cause the server to spin when responding to a
1116 - Apply Joost Mulders' suggested patches for DLPI on x86.
1118 - Support NUL characters in quoted strings.
1120 - Install unformatted man pages on SunOS.
1122 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 18
1124 - Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
1127 - Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
1128 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
1130 - Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
1131 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
1132 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
1134 - Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
1135 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
1136 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
1139 - Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
1140 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
1141 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
1143 - Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
1144 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
1145 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
1146 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
1147 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
1150 - Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
1152 - Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
1153 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
1154 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
1155 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
1157 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
1159 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
1161 - Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
1162 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
1163 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
1165 - Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
1168 - Fix an endianness bug in the tracefile support, regarding ICMP
1171 - Fix a bug in the client where the medium would not work correctly if
1172 it contained quoted strings.
1174 ** there was no pl17 **
1176 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 16
1178 - Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
1179 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
1180 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
1181 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
1182 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
1183 tracking down memory leaks.
1185 - Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
1186 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
1189 - Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
1190 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
1191 corruption and core dumps.
1193 - Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
1194 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
1196 - Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
1198 - Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
1199 and implemented by Damien Neil.
1201 - Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
1202 name and version to standard output.
1204 - Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.
1206 - A bug in nit.c for older SunOS machines was fixed by a patch sent in
1207 by Takeshi Hagiwara.
1209 - Fix a memory corruption bug in the DHCP client.
1211 - Lots of documentation updates.
1213 - Add a feature allowing environment variables to be passed to the
1214 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.
1216 - Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time.
1218 - Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which
1219 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.
1222 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 15
1224 - Some documentation tweaks.
1226 - Maybe fix a problem in the DLPI code.
1228 - Fix some error code space inconsistencies in ddns update code.
1230 - Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff
1231 agent options into them.
1233 - Fix a small memory leak in the relay agent option support code.
1235 - Fix a core dump that would occur if a packet was sent with no
1238 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 14
1240 - Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
1241 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
1242 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
1243 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
1244 used in class statements to control address allocation.
1246 - Fix up documentation.
1248 - Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
1249 significantly in a high-demand situation.
1251 - Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
1253 - Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
1255 - Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
1256 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
1257 practical use otherwise.
1259 - Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
1262 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 13
1264 - Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
1265 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
1266 dump on some systems.
1268 - Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
1271 - Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
1272 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
1274 - Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
1275 that were not printing enough information.
1277 - It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
1278 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
1280 - Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
1281 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
1282 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
1285 - When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
1289 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 12
1291 - Fixed a couple of silly compile errors.
1293 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 11
1295 - Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
1296 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
1297 representation from working correctly.
1299 - Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
1300 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
1301 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
1304 - Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
1305 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
1307 - Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
1308 interface name on the command line.
1310 - Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
1313 - Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
1314 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
1315 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
1316 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
1319 - Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
1320 be made to log debugging information and other information.
1322 - Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
1325 - Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
1326 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
1327 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
1329 - Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
1330 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
1331 face of a null hardware address on input.
1333 - Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
1334 specified unqualified.
1336 - Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
1337 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
1339 - Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
1342 - Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
1344 - Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
1346 - Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
1349 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 10
1351 - Fix a bug introduced during debugging (!) and accidentally committed
1354 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9
1356 - Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
1358 - Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
1361 - Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
1362 options at renewal time.
1364 - Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
1365 configuration language.
1367 - Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
1369 - Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
1370 done when no client hostname was received.
1372 - Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
1374 - Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
1375 the DHCP option space.
1377 - Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
1379 - Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
1380 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
1382 - Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
1385 - Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
1386 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
1388 - Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
1389 will be correctly updated.
1391 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 8
1393 - Oops, there was another subtle math error in the header-length
1396 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 7
1398 - Oops, forgot to byte-swap udp header length before bounds-checking it.
1400 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 6
1402 - Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
1403 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
1404 possible to exploit it any further than that.
1406 - Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
1409 - Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
1410 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
1411 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
1412 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
1413 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
1416 - Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
1417 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
1418 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
1420 - Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
1421 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
1422 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
1425 - Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
1426 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
1427 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
1428 down and fixing this problem.
1430 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5
1432 - Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
1433 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
1435 - Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
1438 - Fix suffix operator.
1440 - Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
1442 - Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
1445 - Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
1447 - Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
1449 - Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
1450 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
1452 - Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
1454 - Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
1456 - Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
1457 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
1459 - Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
1462 - Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
1463 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
1465 - Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
1468 - Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
1469 can install in host declarations.
1471 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
1473 - Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
1474 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
1475 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
1476 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
1479 - Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')
1481 - Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
1482 request for help on this with patches!
1484 - Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
1485 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
1486 lost, they never reconnect.
1488 - Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
1489 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
1491 - Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
1494 - Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
1495 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
1498 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
1500 - In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
1501 of options, so that the client configuration can overried, e.g., the
1504 - Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
1505 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
1506 declared without a key.
1508 - Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
1510 - Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
1511 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
1513 - If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
1514 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
1515 determine the maximum size of the response.
1517 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 2
1519 - Fix a case where spawning subclasses were being allocated
1520 incorrectly, resulting in a core dump.
1522 - Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a
1525 - Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
1527 - Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
1530 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
1532 - Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
1533 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
1536 - In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
1539 - Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
1541 - Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
1542 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
