Topic: strange dhcp.leases entry

The content of this topic has been archived on 5 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

This morning I found this entry inthe dhcp.leases file:

1136331193 00:00:ba:dc:0d:ed <x.x.x.x> * 01:00:00:ba:dc:0d:ed

The <x.x.x.x> of course was a valid ip address.

Iv'e gone through the logs and the only dhcp request that I found that was in the logs  and wasn't in the dhcp.leases file was one from my son's Playstation portable, But the mac address shows up just fine in the output from logread. The ip range is also from the wired lan and not the wireless.

Maybe, it is the PSP dhcp client that is not able to provide a hostname to the dhcp server ?

The discussion might have continued from here.
