[Webmin-maintainers] Bug#320242: webmin-dhcpd doesn't configure systems with multiple NICs properly

[Mark Petersen]

Package: webmin-dhcpd
Version: 1.180-3


Syslog Error Messages -
dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth1 (69.220.x.x).
Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the
network segment to which interface eth1 is attached.
dhcpd: exiting.


Description Of Problem -
Webmin DHCP Server Module - I edited Network Interface, selected eth0 
for the only interface.  This modified /etc/init.d/dhcp to include the 
line: INTERFACES="eth0"
however, it failed to modify /etc/default/dhcp and as such the line in 
/etc/init.d/dhcp was not read.  I guess this is expected behaviour in 
Debian. The best solution would probably be for webmin to modify 
/etc/defaults/dhcp instead of /etc/init.d/dhcp.


I'm using webmin-dhcp and dhcp.  I could try using dhcp3-server and see 
if the problem is resolved, but I haven't done that yet.

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, kernel 2.4.27-2-386.
