Hi everyone -- I'm hoping that someone here can clue me in. With a couple of websites' help, I got ddns working to create records, but nothing I do seems to be able to remove those entries. They are inserted under the name that the host had when it inserted the record, and never updates. The single PC that is booting OpenBSD/i386 isn't getting it's new name into ddns.

This howto was written with OpenBSD 3.6) Network topology: OpenBSD/sparc 4.0-RELEASE (will download and apply patches this weekend, it's a new installation) is the DHCP/BIND ddns machine. It's serving a network of 192.168.1/24 with two DHCP reservations. Windows workstation is one of the reservations, and my FreeBSD box is the other (.11 and .10 respectively). The test box as mentioned above is OpenBSD/i386. First problem: The two machines with DHCP Reservations yield this error when being booted. ----- Quote ----- Apr 13 20:23:46 usemy dhcpd: Dynamic and static leases present for 192.168.1.11. Apr 13 20:23:46 usemy dhcpd: Remove host declaration FATMAN or remove 192.168.1.11 Apr 13 20:23:46 usemy dhcpd: from the dynamic address pool for 192.168.1/24 ----- /Quote ----- And the host declarations are simple, like this: ----- Quote ----- host FATMAN { hardware ethernet 00:02:B3:XX:XX:XX; fixed-address 192.168.1.11; } ----- /Quote ----- What should I do to eliminate the error above? clear the dhcpd.leases file? Second Problem: Once a host has been established (as mentioned above), it's entry isn't updated, in the 30-60 minutes of playing with this that I've done so far. How can I force this update? Or for the matter, force a removal of said entry? As a side note: the Bind ARM mentions something about using rndc as the tool to control the nameserver (freezing a zone if you need to edit the zonefile for example). Can someone give me confirmation that's how you do it? What I read didn't make much sense, but I may have been looking in the wrong place! :( :( Thanks for ANY help from all of you excellent people out there.
