This is not really a bug, just a suggestion. dhcpd(8) says: COMMAND LINE The names of the network interfaces on which dhcpd should listen for broadcasts *may* be specified on the command line. This should be done on systems where dhcpd is unable to identify non-broadcast interfaces, but *should not be required* on other systems. If I don't specify interfaces to listen on, dhcpd listens only on interfaces, for whose it finds subnet declaration in dhcpd.conf. For each interface where's no corresponding subnet declaration, dhcpd spits out an *error* "No subnet declaration for . Ignoring requests on . If this is not what you want, ..." This should not IMHO be an *error*, but only *info*, because there's quite a big chance that this is exactly what user wants. If there's no matching subnet declaration for *any* interface dhcpd spits our fatal error "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" which is all right. With regards, Jiri Popelka Red Hat, inc.
