Package: dhcp Version: 2.0pl5-19.5etch2 Severity: minor
'man dhpc' states: "DHCP leases can be assigned almost any length from zero seconds to infinity." It does not state how to assign infinity. Which are the lengths that can not be assigned? Can there be only integral seconds assigned? Up to which limit? What is the purpose of assigning 0 seconds? Such a lease would expire before it arrived at the client, even if the client were identical with the server machine. It might save some trouble to note, that infinite leases are usually a bad idea, which I found out from http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/rzakg/rzakgconceptleases.htm .
