Jeff,
Ok, I am interested in this topic as well. I used your script and it
seems that it may be working fine. I need a couple clarifications though.
1. Removing leases is one thing, but forcing new registrations is
another. Do I need to manually delete entries at the bottom of dhcpd.conf
in order to force new registrations (dhcpd.conf.new,
dhcpd.conf.bak)? While your script seems to handle dhcpd.leases, its not
clear how one should handle dhcpd.conf.
2. While I presume that the input file is
/var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases what is the output file for? Is that what I
should use to over write dhcpd.leases?
3. Should dhcpd deamon be shut down while running this script?
Thanks. -Tim
