I've just taken a look at this script, and it's good, but it could do with a little bit more work. It should fail more gracefully if /usr/share/misc/oui.txt doesn't exist, and it shouldn't bother reporting entries in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases that are past their end date. My file has a bunch of entries in it that are a couple of years old, and are very much inactive. If you address these issues, and make the script fail gracefully if libtimedate-perl (and therefore Date::Format) isn't installed, I'll add it to the dhcp3-server package. regards Andrew
