Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.4-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The start script for isc-dhcp-server requires that either INTERFACES or INTERFACESv4 be set in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server. For large installations with several dozen interfaces (routers, firewalls) and frequently changing configuration it is not sensible to dynamically create a (redundant) list of interfaces and always inject it into this variable. For a good reason, dhcpd offers the possibility not to specify a list of interfaces (see manpage) and instead find out by itself. This also worked in earlier versions of isc-dhcp-server when the administrator left the INTERFACES variable unset. Currently, if this list is not set, the daemon just exits with code 0. When using systemd, this problem is hard to debug; a solution requires editing the init script (or I was too thick to find a better solution). Please open up a way to start the daemon without an interface list, for instance by allowing a value of 'all' (or '*') for INTERFACESv4/v6.
