I recently setup a spare box (sasami) to provide some local services (dns, dhcp, email, squid, etc.) for a home network, as well as acting as firewall and router. It's running a fairly minimal woody installation, except for shorewall 1.4.8.stable-2 which was backported from sid.
I've configured dhcpd to provide static IPs for all of the permanent boxes, as well as a pool of dynamic addresses. This seems to be working more-or-less as expected... known systems are getting the proper IPs, and others are being assigned one dynamically. Periodically, however, I'm seeing the following entry in my firewall logs. Jan 10 13:49:39 sasami kernel: Shorewall:all2all:REJECT:IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=192.168.0.3 LEN=328 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=16480 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=308 It appears that sasami is trying to send bootp packets to one of the internal boxes. As far as I can see, tho, dhcpd is configured for dhcp only... I've included my dhcpd.conf below. Do I need to do something special to turn off bootp? Or is this normal behaviour, which I should allow through the firewall?
