IMO this is not a bug of FAI. The FAI scripts calls following command in get-boot-info dhclient -lf /dev/null -cf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai.conf -sf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai-script $netdevices >>$bootlog 2> $LOGDIR/dhclient.log
I changed the dhclient-fai-script to a simple shell (/tmp/x) script which does #! /bin/bash printenv If I now call # dhclient -lf /dev/null -cf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai.conf -sf /tmp/x eth0 on a test machine, and set the nis domain name to something containing a plus (+), no nis variable is defined. Without a plus I get this: # dhclient -lf /dev/null -cf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai.conf -sf /tmp/x eth0|grep nis new_nis_domain=some_nis_domain01 This proves, that it's a bug of dhclient (or the dhcpd server), but not a problem of the dhcp related FAI scripts. Please reassign this bug if you agree with me. P.S.: Did anyone checked if a plus sign is allowed in nis domain names? -- regards Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
