I'm beginning to think that some of the dhcpd docs are wrong

I found errors with it before. I can't remember what they were, now. I
seem to recall it was something to do with braces and semi-colons being
incorrectly shown in examples.

I am trying to write a simple dhcpd.conf file for a machine with a
single NIC. This will assign a small subset of the 192.168.14.0
subnet for automatic assignment and will assign a fixed ip
address to a small NAS appliance that I purchased.

The code (below) fails on /etc/dhcpd start. What did I miss?

In what way does it fail?


ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

Mine needs this in it:

include "/etc/rndc.key";

(It's the same key used by BIND)

subnet 192.168.14.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.14.80 192.168.14.95;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 86400;

option domain-name-servers xxx.yyy.zzz.rrr, xxx.ddd.ttt.ooo;

Are you hiding your domain name servers or do you actually have those
letters in there? Don't forget that since you've using dynamic DNS
updates, they need to be DNS servers that you can send updates to.

option routers 192.168.14.249;

host simpleshare {
hardware ethernet 00:01:6c:bd:1d:90;
fixed-address 192.168.14.96;
option host-name simpleshare;
}
}

I have hostnames in quotes, though I haven't checked if that's
essential.

e.g. "simpleshare";
