Dear All,
1. I was receiving errors for a long time like this one:
May 20 11:50:42 domac dhcpd[29435]: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.100.59 from
a8:7d:12:f8:e8:6c (HUAWEI_Y7_Prime_2018-d716) via eth0
May 20 11:50:42 domac dhcpd[29435]: DHCPACK on 192.168.100.59 to
a8:7d:12:f8:e8:6c (HUAWEI_Y7_Prime_2018-d716) via eth0
May 20 11:50:42 domac dhcpd[29435]: Unable to add forward map from
HUAWEI_Y7_Prime_2018-d716.local.alu.hr to 192.168.100.59: REFUSED
May 20 11:48:47 domac named[5524]: zone local.alu.hr/IN:
Win-Ra\159unalo.local.alu.hr/A: bad owner name (check-names)
May 20 11:48:47 domac dhcpd[29435]: Unable to add forward map from
Win-Ra?unalo.local.alu.hr to 192.168.100.235: REFUSED
Additionally, some users have added ?????????? Latin2 characters to
hostnames or smartphone names on WLAN.
It is difficult to change all of these, especially on user's smartphones
who usually connect without even seeing us administrators.
Also, disabling BIND9 name checks might make users unable to browse as
some other services would reject their reverse DNS names as spoofed.
It would be very useful if there was a way to do in DHCPD dhcp-eval
scripting what is done with the effect of:
% tr '_??????????' '-CCDSZccdsz' < in > out
that is, transliterate characters, or search & replace. I couldn't find
that option in dhcpd.conf nor in dhcp-eval.
2. I have also tried this to have PCs 12h lease time and smartphones 30min,
but it did not work:
if substring (option host-name, 0, 3) = "PC-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 8) = "DESKTOP-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 4) = "ALU-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 2) = "S-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 3) = "NO-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 6) = "OKIRU-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 7) = "OZAFIN-" or
?? substring (option host-name, 0, 8) = "MikroTik"
{
??????? default-lease-time 43200;
} else {
??????? default-lease-time 1800;
}
Thank you very much.
My version of DHCPD is:
root@domac:~# dpkg -l isc-dhcp-server
ii? isc-dhcp-server 4.4.1-2+deb10u1 amd64??????? ISC DHCP server for
automatic IP address assignment
root@domac:~#
Best regards,
Mirsad Todorovac
