Hi dhcp3-server Maintainers,

I would like to see a 'Include' directive for the dhcp server
configuration file (pointing to a subdirectory by default) or simple
support for /etc/dhcp3/conf.d/<conffile> .

It would be a huge enhancement for ltsp since it depends on a dhcp
server and it could install its own needed configuration file.
Considering a fresh ltsp install with no previous dhcp configuration
in place but just the include directive, it would 'just work',
otherwise it would require manual intervention. Today both use cases
aren't covered.

Could you please reply if you've an alternate proposal not involving
patch upstream code or if you consider review and apply a patch but
won't treat this wishlist bug as a priority ?

thanks,

Shane,

Thanks for the prompt response.

I know, but it doesn't cover the use case outlined by me in the bug
report that you also cover below.

Good, I'll see if I can hack a patch for this. Is there a place (irc
channel) where It's fine ask questions about ISC DHCP coding
guidelines?

regards,
-- Gustavo "stratus" Franco

it's kind of hackish, but it wouldn't be too hard to patch the init
script to generate dhcpd.conf on startup by copying
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf somewhere (/var/run ?) and adding one include
entry for each file found in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf.d/

each call to /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 in the init script would have to be
patched to use the -cf option...

(untested) patch for /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server attached.

live well,
