1.6.3: dhcp.template

[Stephan Huiser]

fresh install of cobbler 1.6.3 on Fedora 10

'cobbler sync' fails on '/usr/sbin/dhcpd -t'

I think this piece of dhcp.template causes the error:

#if $iface.hostname:
            hostname $iface.hostname;
        #end if

After removing these lines and running 'cobbler sync', DHCPD runs fine ...

Can you share the output of "cobbler system report --name=foo" for the 
system in question and also the "/etc/dhcpd.conf" that cobbler creates?

It seems that the error you posted is about a IP address, which is not a 
hostname, and that confuses me a bit...

Using the above template and trying to replicate this scenario I'm *not* 
getting this restart error.

Except I'm using F-10.

Anyone have an idea as to /why/ this is invalid syntax? It looks valid 
to me.

Perhaps it's a variance in different versions of dhcpd, or I'm just 
missing something obvious?

hostname is not a dhcpd.conf option AFAIK.  You need to do something like
this with "option host-name".

host foo {
  option host-name "some-hostname";
  fixed-address "1.2.3.4";
  ..
  ..
}
