Hello all,
In the environment that I work, I have to NIC's. One ethernet, one token ring. I only want the dhcp server to listen for requests on the token ring nic. So, I read the dhcpd manual page and found that if interfaces are specified on the command line that dhcpd will only listen on those addresses. Ok, so I found the dhcpd script (later I found that I should have added this to /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd but the result is the same) in /etc/init.d to include the following line: DHCPDCMDARGS="tr0" Then, later on this is referenced when dhcpd is started. Ok, now comes the problem. After starting dhcpd, I do a nmap -sU on both interfaces and see the both eth0 and tr0 (when I call nmap, I call their respective IP addresses) have port 67 on udp open. Why is this? If the addition of "tr0" to the command line options is supposed to keep this from happening, why is it happening? Am I missing something? --------------------------------------------- Andrew R.
