Getting there... This file (/etc/default/dhcp3-server) is populated with information provided by the user installing the package, as far as I understand. So if the user entered an IP address instead of an interface name, then sure, they're going to wind up with an IP address in /etc/default/dhcp3-server and have a bad time as a result. This sounds like a case of garbage in, garbage out. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
